NID March snow survey: snowpack at 96% after February storms
NID Hydrographers take a snow sample on Findley Peak.
A cold, wet February delivered double the average amount of snow and rain for the month. As a result, the snowpack has increased on Nevada Irrigation District (NID) upper watersheds, and the water content in the snow is just about normal for this time of year, according to the District’s March survey.
NID hydrographers conducted the second snow survey of the year on Feb. 26-27; their measurements taken on five courses found the water content to be 96 percent of average.
