Look up "Alaska snowpack map", the divy the state up into regions and will show a % of normal snowpack for each region

Great idea! thanks. Don't think I like what I found.

For what it's worth the winter in Prudhoe has been much more mild compared to the past few. The temps have been warmer and there isn't as much snow. The brooks is a decent ways south so they might have a lot more snow but overall it seems like alaska had a more mild winter than usual.

Just my observations FYI I don't have any data highlighting that specifically.

Thanks. Since my last post I've seen various map/reports and I'm in no way smart enough to make any sense of it. Either way I'm headed up in August. Guess even if the sheep aren't there it'll be a bad ass camping trip.

DCUA has had exposed vegetation all winter due to wind and minimal snow. Temperatures have also been mild. We're hoping for a great lamb crop. Predators are still numerous.
