13 Snowpack Prediction Contest December - April Can your classroom correctly predict the amount of snow that we will have at Bogus Basin this year? How about the water equivalent? Closest class wins a pizza party!

14 SNOTEL is Here to Help You!

15 SNOTEL is a system of weather stations that measure snowpack depth and water equivalent. There is a SNOTEL weather station at Bogus Basin.

16 Link to SNOTEL data http://www.wcc.nrcs.usda.gov/reportGenerator/view/customSingleStationRe port/daily/978%3Aid%3ASNTL/- 7%2C0/WTEQ%3A%3Avalue%2CSNWD%3A%3Avalue%2CPREC%3A%3 Avalue%2CTOBS%3A%3Avalue%2CTMAX%3A%3Avalue%2CTMIN%3A %3Avalue%2CTAVG%3A%3Avalue

17 To make your prediction it can be helpful to know the snowpack levels at Bogus Basin in past winters.

18 Deepest snow last year = 76 in on April 2nd Greatest water equivalent last year = 25.4 inches on April 7 2014 (Last Year)

19 2013 50 inches on Feb 26 14.4 inches on March 27

20 2012 68 inches on Mar 21 22.1 inches on April 2

21 Now its your turn to make a prediction! Go to: http://snowschool.squarespace.com/snowschool-follow- up-project/http://snowschool.squarespace.com/snowschool-follow- up-project/ Send your prediction to- kmcclay@winterwildlands.org
