According to the Washington State Department of Ecology, snowpacks across Washington's mountain ranges are looking good for springtime with the Olympic basin measured at 110% of average at the beginning of April. Colder than normal temperatures in March were able to preserve snowpack conditions, according to the April newsletter from the Office of the Washington State Climatologist.
This comes after an emergency drought was declared for the Olympic Peninsula in May of last year when the snowpack melted quickly resulting in a warmer than normal temperature. The snowpack was measured at less than 50 percent of average in May 2019.
