Information on SWE conditions is extremely important in forest fire modelling, flood forecasting, hydroelectric power production and watershed management. Point measurements on the map indicate snow depth. The lower number, if present, is the normal snow depth for that date averaged over the 1961-1990 period. The numbers indicate degrees Celsius by which the temperature departs from normal. The animation steps through the data in 10-day increments.
Values shown are departure from normal in millimetres.
