WY snowpack down slightly on average

Total snowfall in Wyoming this season is slightly below average - but the real snow picture depends where you are. Snowfall statewide is 93% of the historical median. The Natural Resources Conservation Service says that the actual snow picture depends on the region within Wyoming. The northwestern part of Wyoming is on track for a normal, snowy winter. But the NRCS says the southeastern part of Wyoming is severely lacking snowfall. The Snake River drainage basin in northeastern Wyoming is 121% of the 1981-2010 median and the Belle Fourche drainage basin in the Black Hills is 36%.
