Klamath National Forest completes final spring snow survey with only one high-elevation site retaining measurable snow
YREKA — Spring has effectively erased the Scott River watershed’s snowpack, according to May snow survey results released Tuesday by the Klamath National Forest.
Across all measurement points in the Scott River sub-basin, both snow depth and Snow Water Equivalent — the measure of actual water content held in the snowpack — came in at just 0.8% of historical averages. Of the multiple established survey sites in the watershed’s headwaters, only the highest-elevation location in the Middle Boulder Basin retained any measurable snow at all.
