## About the Colorado Snow Survey

NRCS's Snow Survey and Water Forecasting program monitors seasonal snowpack and annual mountain precipitation and uses the data collected to provide streamflow forecasts. These forecasts help water managers make informed management decisions and curtail water supply issues before they occur. The data collected by the program are also used by recreationists, climate and snow researchers, and reservoir operators.

The extended range air temperature sensors used at SNOTEL sites in the continental U.S. has a known bias. The Snow Survey and Water Supply Forecasting Program is actively working on a correction. For more Information please see our Air Temperature Bias Correction Resources.
