Klamath, State, Snowpacks Below Average

In a case of "no good deed goes unpunished", state officials are saying that the much-needed rain that fell over the last two months actually helped deplete the Oregon snowpack. Just a year after record snow fell on the Oregon Cascades and the Klamath Valley, state water experts are saying every basin in the state is now reporting below-average snowpack. Precipation generally is off, too: just 48 percent of normal so far in Klamath County. Experts say, though, that it's still early: the heaviest snowpack generally happens between now and the first of April.
