5 of Utah's 16 snowpack basins have now broken records in addition to the statewide record broken last week — and there's more snow still to fall.
This water year's collection — at 26.7 inches by noon Monday — is also the largest amount Utah has received since at least 1952, according to the Natural Resources Conservation Service. Snowpack collection records before 1980 are hazy because they were conducted manually once a month instead of the daily automated process that began a little over 40 years ago, which is why 2023 is recognized as the record holder.
Jordan Clayton, a hydrologist with the agency, notes that records have been set at over two dozen individual sites, paving the way for the statewide record. It's also helped five of Utah's 16 snowpack basins break records this season, including the Provo-Utah Lake-Jordan region that feeds the creeks and rivers that flow into Provo River, Utah Lake and Jordan River.
This map shows Utah's 16 snowpack basins and their levels on Monday compared to the normal for this point in the snow collection season. All basins are well above their seasonal average.
