Snow Levels Resource

[ultrazona]

IS there a good resource/map that shows the current snow levels around the state? I was trying to find the snow level and all I came up with was this https://weatherstreet.com/weather-forec ... -cover.htm. Hoping to find somewhere where I can zoom in and get a estimate of the amount of snow on certain trails/areas. i have found a few that are specific to the resorts, but I am looking for outside those areas.

Here is a link showing snow depth on Humphreys Peak: https://www.nohrsc.noaa.gov/interactive ... 11=1&o13=1

I imagine that you could play around with the site and find other locations

@DixieFlyer
This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

The satellite estimates are helpful because there are so few snotel reporting stations in Arizona. But for an exact reading, you can view the actual observed snow depth of select locations here.
Crazy long URL link
Note these are also available under the "gauges" option on the HAZ map page.
But this native site allows you to change all kinds of parameters. You can sometimes correlate the data from a snotel site to areas of similar elevation, location, or topography, but not always. Sometimes science is an art

PS I think I made the link default to the current date, but if not, make sure you change the date or you'll be looking at data from when I made the link.

Was thinking maybe you were going to summit the State High Point soon.

I must admit, I'd enjoy being camped in those sites at the saddle during a blizzard, provided it only lasts one night and doesn't snow more than a foot. Any deeper and it would be an endless slog back.

endless slog

If you skin up, the return trip is an epical reward.

Related: the NOAA site shows a couple of inches on the mazzies. Anyone hiked there in the last couple of days/driven by that could comment? Wanting to hike in some snow but only a couple of inches tops
