Scott,

I have been keeping an eye on our snow levels up here in the northwest. My two favorite rivers are not getting the snow packs that I would like them to get. In eastern Washington, the Yakima River only has 75% of normal this year compared to 101% last year. Over in Montana, my favorite river is in the western part of the state, the Clark Fork River. The three drainage basins that feed it average out at only 81% of normal compared to 86% last year. Not the greatest but for sure not the worst it has been in years past. We take what we get and make the best of it.
