[Cdt-l] postholer

[Jonathan Ley]

The postholer has been updated recently so you can look at the data 
compared to any date. The default is April 1, but there is a dropdown 
menu at top to select different dates. Plus, the bars act as convenient 
links to the snotel sites, where you can find more info.
www.postholer.com

Still, I think that this page is most useful & more visual (which is on 
one of the links that Ginny provided below):
http://www.wcc.nrcs.usda.gov/cgibin/westsnow.pl
Which leads you to maps like:
