Wyoming snowpack down to 56% of normal

Wyoming's mountain snowpack is hanging on a little bit better than it did at this time last year. The federal Natural Resources Conservation Service reports that the state's snowpack is down to 56% of normal this week. At this time last year, when the state was in a drought, the snowpack was down to 43% of normal. Wyoming relies heavily on its mountain snowpack to supply its drinking and irrigation water needs for the year.
