End of February snowpack snow water equivalent in and around Alaska from ERA5 Land analysis courtesy @CopernicusECMWF. Well above normal snowpack in the middle and upper Yukon and Tanana River valleys, so we'll need to start thinking soon about river break-up flood threat for the end of April and May. Kuskokwim valley has lots of snow in the toward the delta but less upper reaches. @Climatologist49 @anisian

@Climatologist49 @CopernicusECMWF @AlaskaWx Good to see a healthy snowpack - to recharge those aquifers and wetlands. Traveling in NM recently, the below historic normal snowpack was evident: https://nwcc-apps.sc.egov.usda.gov/imap/#version=2&elements=&networks=!&states=!&basins=!&hucs=&minElevation=&maxElevation=&elementSelectType=any&activeOnly=true&activeForecastPointsOnly=false&hucLabels=false&hucIdLabels=false&hucParameterLabels=true&stationLabels=&overlays=&hucOverlays=2&basinOpacity=75&basinNoDataOpacity=25&basemapOpacity=100&maskOpacity=0&mode=data&openSections=dataElement,parameter,date,basin,options,elements,location,networks&controlsOpen=false&popup=&popupMulti=&popupBasin=&base=esriNgwm&displayType=basinstation&basinType=6&dataElement=WTEQ&depth=-2&parameter=PCTMED&frequency=MONTHLY&duration=I&customDuration=&dayPart=E&monthPart=E&forecastPubDay=1&forecastExceedance=50&useMixedPast=true&seqColor=1&divColor=7&scaleType=D&scaleMin=&scaleMax=&referencePeriodType=POR&referenceBegin=1991&referenceEnd=2020&minimumYears=20&hucAssociations=true&relativeDate=-1&lat=38.90&lon=-118.49&zoom=2.4
