Idaho water supply isn’t in crisis yet, but what about next year?

Ron Abramovich usually dons snowshoes to walk through 3 feet of snow and more to measure the season-ending snowpack at 6,100-foot-high More’s Creek Summit east of Idaho City.

The trek to the measuring site this year was over scant snow. Abramovich, in his snowshoes, had to climb over fallen branches, across flowing streams and over dry topsoil.

"It looked like June 1 instead of May 1," said Abramovich, water supply specialist for the U.S. Conservation Service.
