Jamestown (CSi) Recent snowpack measurements taken in the reservoirWinter1Jamestown/Pipestem Dam basin, earlier this week showed 5.2 inches of snow containing 0.9 inches of moisture.

Bob Martin with the Corps of Engineers at Pipestem says, there are large areas with no snow cover.

Frost depth measurements went from about 18 inches on January 5, 2015 to 36 inches on the 20th.

Martin says snowpack measurements are now conducted every two weeks through the spring melt.

No major changes since an earlier report from Martin that releases from Jamestown and Pipestem dams are minimal at this time, with five cubic feet per second being released from Pipestem Dam.

Releases from Jamestown Dam were shut off in December.
