Colorado’s historically low snowpack of the 2025-26 winter season is setting records once again, per the USDA.

The state ended up exiting the month of February with about 8.0 inches of snow-water equivalent in the snowpack, tying the previous all-time low (with records started in 1987) for February 28. That said, the state hasn’t added to its snowpack in a significant way in days since, still at 8.0 snow-water equivalent inches. The previous record-low snowpack for March 2 was 8.2 inches, thus that record no longer stands.

New records in regard to low snowpack have already been set on dozens of days throughout the current season, but there is some good news on the horizon. More snow is expected to hit Colorado’s mountains this week, favoring those in the northern part of the state. It’s also looking like early-to-mid March could bring wetter conditions. On top of that, the typical snowpack peak is still more than a month away – April 8 – and with March and April having potential to be snowy months during the typical year, there’s still plenty of time for Colorado to keep adding snowpack to its white-capped peaks.
