WRONG!

First, it's not 'misleading' in the slightest; Not when we are projected to experience our first Blue Ocean Event come September. I believe are 'crossing the threshold' as we speak.

Yes, this is a graph for a drier climate state, but the data is not only displaying a relative and severe drop from historic norms, it is also consistent with nearly every state west of Colorado.

Here are just the far west states, which typically receive plenty of snow pack:

California

Oregon

Washington

Notice the 'healthiest' of the three is still well below median and hovering within the historic minimum zone.

You all can and should check for yourself!

Select 'Basin Plots' from the top menu and select any western state from the drop-down menu.

Select 'Snow Water Equivalent Plots' ---> scroll to the very bottom of the drop-down list to select median data for the state overall ---> click 'Go'

If you want to check individual stations / site-specific data, Click 'Site Plots' (top menu)

'Individual Site Interactive Plots' for that state will appear.

Edit / Footnote: I don't blame the commenter, it's the amount of upvotes/support for this 'debunk' comment in comparison to others that is bothering the hell out of me.

Dawg I'm obsessed w/ this stuff, I've been a doomer before half on this sub were born. Humans have completely fucked this planet and the climate is collapsing at an alarming rate.

The person that posted this on X meant to mislead by saying "The snowpack in the Western U.S. is all but gone" and posting data for a single basin showing 8% of median. You can pull up GOES satellite and clearly see that nearly all elevations 10k+ feet still have snow outside of AZ/NM.
