As the end of the year nears, Colorado’s snowpack is still way behind the norm for the date. And while there’s a little bit of snow on the way over upcoming days, OpenSnow’s Joel Gratz has reported that the “trend in the forecast is not a positive one, with less snow likely compared to previous forecasts.”

Just how far is Colorado’s snowpack behind compared to the norm? Right now it’s at 55 percent of what’s typical for December 23 statewide, according to the USDA.

Here’s a look at how each region stacks up:

Arkansas River Basin (southern Colorado): 52 percent of norm

Colorado Headwaters River Basin (western Colorado, north of Grand Junction): 50 percent of norm

Gunnison River Basin (western Colorado, south of Grand Junction): 52 percent of norm

Laramie and North Platte River Basin (northern Colorado): 69 percent of norm

San Miguel-Dolores-Animas-San Juan River Basin (southwest corner of state): 47 percent of norm

South Platte River Basin (northern Front Range): 63 percent of norm

Statewide: 55 percent of norm

Upper Rio Grande River Basin (southern Colorado): 52 percent of norm

Yampa-White-Little snake River Basin (northwest Colorado): 63 percent of norm

Meanwhile, dry conditions continue to linger in Colorado, with roughly 57 percent of the state abnormally dry or worse, with about 36 percent of the state in technical drought. Drought is most severe in the state’s northwest quadrant.

Over the next five days, OpenSnow reports that Steamboat and Wolf Creek should get about 11 inches of fresh powder, with other resorts in the single digits. Find the full OpenSnow report here.
