Final snow survey of the season today shows continuing melt through March. The snow melts twice as fast in the larch stand compared to the mature cedar stand due to the lack of shading and higher net radiation under the deciduous canopy without leaves.
Snow survey summary, snow water equivalent
Larch: 35 cm (down from 51 cm to 35 cm over 16 days = 1.0 cm/day)
Mature cedar: 28 cm (down from 36 cm to 28 cm over 16 days = 0.5 cm/day)
A discharge measurement was also taken under rainy and very cold conditions to confirm the stage-rating curve after the winter and before the main snowmelt season.
