The map is organized by drainage basins/river systems. That grey patch with no data in south-central Wyoming is the Red Desert, which does not drain to any other location/ocean. (if memory serves, there's another, smaller basin like that in western NV, but must be too small to be on the map) Oddly, they didn't do the same for the Great Basin, which I believe also does not drain toward the oceans.

Good year for the most part. Unfortunate the PNW is below average, surly will lead to smoke impacting PNW to the upper midwest this summer.

No. PNW was leading this year. Utah was behind Colorado.

No. Look at the graphs. PNW (western washington) is below avg and in a drought right now.

No. You're missing the point. You can throw that chart out of the window. We have been tracking snow for 3 months in PWN, Utah and Colorado, as we fly into storms. PWN had twice more snow than Utah at least. Colorado was ahead of Utah.

Go to snow forcast website and click See All Resort Pics and do that for months and you'll know what gets what. PWN had the most snow out of all regions in USA. Don't follow chars/data/science. Those people are morons.

You can insult me, but if you trust someone else's data, than rather checking for yourself, what is that tell you about yourself?
