Get the newest daily snow water equivalent, percent of median, snow depth, 1-day and 7-day changes, water-year precipitation, air temperature and soil moisture (2, 8 and 20 inches) for every active government snow station (SNOTEL) and soil climate station (SCAN) in the states you pick. One row per station.
What you get
- Station name, id, state, county, elevation, latitude, longitude.
- Snow water equivalent, the 1991-2020 median for the date, percent of median, 1-day and 7-day change.
- Snow depth and its 1-day change, water-year precipitation, air temperature at the reading.
- Soil moisture percent at 2, 8 and 20 inches where the station measures it.
- Median peak snow water and its usual date.
- Reading time as ISO 8601 with offset, plus a plain label. Each daily value is the midnight reading at the end of that date in station standard time.
- Self-check fields (qcStatus, qcNotes) and an error field. Odd values, stale readings and source errors are flagged, never dropped.
How to use (no code)
- List the states you want (default CO).
- Turn on snow stations, soil stations, or both.
- Click Start. A full state usually takes under 2 minutes. Download as CSV, Excel or JSON.
Limits
Values are provisional and can be revised. Snow stations are only in western states and Alaska. Some stations do not measure every item; those fields are null. The median is shown only when the station reported a snow water value that day. The source sometimes fails on large requests; the tool retries in smaller pieces and flags any station it could not fill.
