2 The Yukon Snow Survey Bulletin and Water Supply Forecast is prepared and issued three times annually after ch 1, April 1 and 1 by Environment Yukon s Water Resources Branch. The bulletin provides a summary of winter meteorological and streamflow conditions for Yukon, as well as current snow depth and snow water equivalent observations for 57 locations. This information is used to make projections of total volume runoff for the summer period and an estimate of peak flow for the main river basins and sub-basins including the upper and lower Yukon, Pelly, Stewart, Liard, Alsek, Porcupine and Peel Rivers. Information about the bulletin, snowpack conditions or streamflow projections can be obtained by contacting: Jonathan Kolot Anthony Bier Richard owicz Hydrology Technologist Hydrology Technologist Senior Scientist, Hydrology (867) (867) (867) jonathan.kolot@gov.yk.ca anthony.bier@gov.yk.ca richard.janowicz@gov.yk.ca Water Resources Branch, Department of Environment (867) , toll free (in Yukon, NWT, Nunavut): , ext Fax: water.resources@gov.yk.ca A new snow survey station, Hyland River B, was established in the Liard drainage for 218. This bulletin, as well as earlier editions, is available online at: ISSN X It is recommended that reference to this report be made in the following form: Yukon Snow Survey Bulletin and Water Supply Forecast, ch 1, 218 ch 218 Water Resources Branch Department of Environment Government of Yukon Box 273, Whitehorse, Yukon Y1A 2C6 Yukon Snow Survey Bulletin and Water Supply Forecast ch 218 2
3 The Yukon Snow Survey Bulletin and Water Supply Forecast is published three times annually: after ch 1, April 1, and 1.

4 Fall and winter have exhibited a wide range of conditions, with periods of both record-breaking warmth and cold across the territory. By the end of February, the mean temperatures south of the Ogilvie Mountains had approached normal, while the far north continued to experience well above normal temperatures. Precipitation has been well below normal in the southeast Yukon and Atlin areas, while it is near normal throughout the rest of the territory. October experienced warmer than normal temperatures due to a series of upper ridges that brought warm air from southern latitudes, combined with a lack of arctic outbreaks. Stations in central Yukon and Beaver Creek received greater than normal precipitation in the form of both rain and snowfall while southern Yukon remained drier than normal due to the effect of upper ridges. The temperature trend was reversed in ember by a series of Arctic outbreaks that brought temperatures several degrees below normal to most of the territory. The exception was once again the far north which received warm southern air transported through the interior of Alaska. Precipitation anomalies were variable throughout the territory with no clear geographic trends apart from below-normal amounts throughout the extreme southwest. Early December experienced the season s first Pineapple Express ; a very warm, wet mass of air originating near Hawaii. Temperatures reached the double digits at many locations and nearly all locations were several degrees warmer than normal for the month; despite the presence of a persistent cold ridge over the territory for the final week of the year. Southern Yukon continued to be drier than normal. Mid-uary brought a second extreme warming event to the territory, causing warmer than normal temperatures across the entire Yukon. Precipitation was generally well below normal, but isolated rain or snowfall pushed some sites to greater-than-normal amounts. Northern Yukon, including Old Crow and the Dempster Highway, was warmer than normal during February, while the remainder of the territory was cooler than normal. This weather pattern brought in substantial moisture resulting in unusually heavy snowfall throughout much of western and southern Yukon. The exception was the Haines Highway area, which recorded well-below-normal snowfall. Yukon Snow Survey Bulletin and Water Supply Forecast ch 218 4
