Water, water, water

Hey all -
I just got the following information sent to me by the hydrologist that works for the USFS, thought you might me interested:

Idaho SNOTEL Snow/Precipitation Update Report
Based on Mountain Data from NRCS SNOTEL Sites
**Provisional data, subject to revision**
Data based on the first reading of the day (typically 00:00) for Thursday, April 02, 2009

Basin	Snow Water Equivalent (% of average)	Year-to-Date Precipitation (% of average)
Little Lost, Birch	97	104
Medicine Lodge, Beaver, Camas	96	107
Henrys Fork, Teton	91	91
Snake above Palisades	99	101
Willow, Blackfoot, Portneuf	93	106
Bear River	93	98

The SNOW WATER EQUIVALENT represents the depth of water in the snowpack, if the snowpack were melted, expressed in inches.

The YEAR-TO-DATE PRECIPITATION Percent of Average represents the total precipitation (beginning on October 1st) found at selected SNOTEL sites in or near the basin compared to the average value for those sites on this day.

Reference period for average conditions is 1971-2000.

Oh yeah - - HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAN :)

Love, Ryan

New Directory

Hey all,

Just wanted to put a quick plug in for the Woodland Family Directory. It's time for a new one, there are so many outdated pieces of info in that old one from a year or so ago.

Please email me the changes to your contact info. That would include addresses, phone numbers, etc. My email is charbar97@live.com. I'll be waiting to hear from you, but I would like to get this out before Mother's day so that gives you four or five weeks.

Love you all
