While Jackson Hole has not experienced the kind of snowstorms seen nearby in Northwestern Wyoming, those snows around us have done much to begin a build-up in the mountains. In fact, the USDA says as much as two to three times the usual amount of snow has accumulated in the mountains. The U.S. Department of Agriculture report shows snow water equivalent above 150% and 200% of average throughout Idaho, northern Colorado and western Montana. Similar levels are also scattered across Wyoming and parts of northern Utah including parts of Yellowstone. Even with the snow, part of Wyoming is experiencing dry or drought conditions. In the Snake River Basin, the snow-water equivalent is 115% of normal, 124% in the Madison/Gallatin Basin, and 140% in Yellowstone.
