California Department of Water Resources (DWR) measures the amount of snow in mountains throughout the State.  Below are the measurements for the Scott Valley basin, in the mountains at the very top of the state.

Snow depth and water content are in inches.  April 1 averages are based on measurements made during years 1951-2000.  Courses are grouped by river basins, listed in north-south and high-low elevation order.

As of Thursday, May 13, 2010, the DWR reported on its website that the April 1, 2010 measurement in the south and west mountains of Siskiyou County was at 119 percent of the basin average.

Apparently, the month of April storms provided more snow in the mountains, because on May 1, 2010, the measurement had increased to 170 percent of average.

Snow course Middle Boulder 1 is at 6,600 feet elevation.  On May 3, the snow level measured 101.6 inches. Water content is 34 percent.

Snow course Middle Boulder 3 is at 6,200 feet elevation.  On May 3, the snow level was 102.3 inches with a 34 percent water content.

Snow course Dynamite Meadow is at elevation 5,700.  On May 3, it measured 80.9 inches with a water content of 38 percent.

The Scott River flows from these mountains and alpine snowpacks.

Snow course Swampy John is a 5,500 feet elevation and is located to the north and west of the previous snow courses, behind the City of Etna on Salmon Mt.  On May 3, it measured 72 inches with a water content of 38 percent.

Etna Creek flows from the Salmon Mt. and this Swampy John area of measurement.
