Above normal snow depth measured in North Bay and Chisholm
Area snow depth increased 10.5 cm in the past couple of weeks.
The North Bay-Mattawa Conservation Authority (NBMCA) says the latest snow depth measurements, taken Tuesday (Feb. 17), are above normal in North Bay and Chisholm, while they’re in the normal range in Corbeil.
“The combined average snow depth is 59.4 cm and snow water equivalence is 91.7 mm at the three snow course locations,” says Angela Mills, NBMCA Water Resources Specialist. “With the milder weather, the snowpack across the watershed has become noticeably wetter than at any other point this season.”
The conservation authority measures snow depth and water content as part of its Flood Forecasting and Warning Program.
More snow survey information and this season’s measurements are available on the Conservation Authority’s website.
