Figure 5. This graph shows the maximum snow water equivalent (SWE) versus snow disappearance date in 2021, relative to the 21-year-satellite average and summarized from snow monitoring stations in each state (squares). Almost all western states are in the lower left quadrant, which signifies lower peak SWE and earlier snow disappearance in 2021 relative to an average year. Washington was the only state with above average maximum SWE and the closest to average snow disappearance timing in 2021. Note that as of June 6, snow has not yet disappeared at a small number of stations (Figure 3), and those stations are not included in the summarized state data. — Credit: M. Raleigh
