The Colorado SNOTEL index of the San Miguel, Dolores, Animas and San Juan River basins was at 78 percent of the median figure for Wednesday’s date.
The index is based on data from sites operated by the Natural Resources and Conservation Service, part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Some others:
Mancos, 71 percent

Tuesday’s storm dropped 6 to 8 inches in many parts of La Plata County, and a foot or more at some locations in the mountains.
