After a month of snow and rain, snowpack levels at the Summerland Reservoir have risen closer normal, and the snowpack at Isintok Lake higher than normal, according to the latest figures from the municipality of Summerland.

At Summerland Reservoir, a snow depth of 580 millimetres was recorded on Feb. 1. This is the equivalent of 158 millimetres of water. The snow measurement is at 93 per cent of the historical average of 170 millimetres of water equivalent, measured over 61 years.

At Summerland Reservoir, a snow depth of 520 millimetres was recorded. This is the equivalent of 130 millimetres of water, or 107 per cent of the historical average of 121 millimetres, measured over 60 years.

In January, the snowpack measurements at both sites were substantially lower than normal.

At Isintok Lake, the snow depth was 300 millimetres, or the equivalent of 71 millimetres of water. This is 88 per cent of the historical average.

At Summerland Reservoir, the snow depth on Jan. 1 was 360 millimetres, or the equivalent of 64 millimetres of water. This was 58 per cent of the historical average for the site.

The two sites are west of Summerland. The municipality measures the snow depth at both locations at the beginning of the month from January to May, and then twice a month in May and June until the snowpack has melted.

A year ago, Summerland recorded extremely high snowpack levels in January, and levels well above normal throughout the rest of the winter, especially at Summerland Reservoir.
