Summary

This data set contains snow observations (snow depth, snowfall, and snow water equivalent) from several networks (CA-Hydro, CoCoRaHS, US Bureau of Reclamation, Idaho Transportation Department, SNOTEL, CNRA, DRI, UUNET, BCHYDRO, RAWS and several avalanche centers) with over 6000 locations throughout the United States and Canada. The temporal resolution varies from 6 hourly to daily depending on the station. These data were quality controlled and provided by NOAA MADIS.
