Snow depth has increased by 7.9 cm and water content has increased by 26.0 mm since the last readings on February 15, reports the North Bay-Mattawa Conservation Authority (NBMCA) which measures snow depth and water content as part of its Flood Forecasting and Warning Program.

“The top of the snow pack was light and fluffy, and the snow was granular 10-15 cm below surface, said Angela Mills, NBMCA Water Resources Specialist. " Average snow depth for all sites is 54.1 cm (103.0% normal) and average water equivalence is 111.0 mm (97.1% normal),”

In 2021, the average snow depth for the three sites was 61.5 cm and water equivalence was 93.7 mm at this time of year.

Snow is measured for depth and water equivalence at three locations in the watershed.
