"As of April 1, the provincial average snowpack sits at 115% of normal, up slightly from 112% on March 15. Historically, about 97% of the seasonal snowpack has accumulated by this point, meaning most regions are now near their seasonal peak."
"Several long-term monitoring stations are now reporting record-high snow water equivalent levels for April 1, including East Creek in the West Kootenay and Pine Pass in the Peace region. East Creek has already reached an all-time seasonal high."
Spring has arrived in British Columbia, with the snowpack at 115% of normal as of April 1. A recent atmospheric river caused snowmelt at lower elevations while higher elevations continued to build snowpack. Cooler conditions returned, stabilizing the snowpack. Regional variability is significant, with Vancouver Island and the Boundary region at 57% and 54% of normal, respectively, while northern regions like Upper Fraser West and Liard report 171% and 176%. Some monitoring stations have recorded all-time highs, while others, like Brenda Mine, show record lows.
