Wyoming's snowpack has dropped a bit in the last week because the state didn't get enough new snow. The Natural Resources Conservation Service in Casper said that the statewide average snowpack went from 110% last week to 101% on Monday.
Last year at this time, the statewide average snowpack was 104%. Six basins are above average and seven are below.
The Wind River basin has the lowest snowpack at 79%. The highest measurement is in the Powder-Tongue basin - 129% of average. The conservation service warns that early season averages go up and down frequently and snowpack measurements don't really become meaningful until the end of January.
