- Efforts to measure winter snowpack have been ongoing since the late 1800s, because it’s always been important for cities, farmers and elected officials to know what water supplies might be available for the spring, summer and fall seasons.
- Since the mid-1930s, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service has directed the snow survey and forecasting program in the Western states.
- The more accurate and technology-based SNOTEL program launched in 1977 — transmitting snowpack, precipitation and temperature data on a daily basis.
- There are currently about 1,185 manually measured snow courses and 858 automated SNOTEL stations in 13 Western states, including Alaska.
- More than 110 of the SNOTEL sites are in Colorado mountains.
