Some areas enjoy plentiful snowpack while other areas reach record-low levels

IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI) - This winter's snow pack remains a story of two different tales across the region.

In the southern Highlands, southeast Idaho and for those east of the Lower Snake River Plain, many continue to reap from the benefits of the consistent snowfall.

"Over the last week, we've seen a number of storm systems come through. They've mainly really hit the southern part of the state," David Hoekema of the Idaho Department of Water Resources said. "So along the outer border with nevada and utah. And so those basins are doing great. They're all above 100% of the normal snowpack for this time of."

Not everyone has seen these snow showers pass through though.

The extreme Upper Snake River Plain and central Idaho are reaching historic low levels of snowpack.

These areas are behind by two to five feet of snow.

"Those basins are still really far behind where we would want to see them. They're kind of hovering right around 60% of what we would expect for this time of year. We still have a big hole that needs to get filled. And when we need an active storm system pattern now for a few weeks, if we're going to catch up to normal snowpack conditions."

Snow is predicted in the near-term future.

The Climate Prediction Center also predicts the region to have an average amount of snowfall for the rest of winter.

Water experts aren't worried just because of that, but the storage water levels in the reservoirs are still impressive.

Henry's Lake, Island Park Reservoir and Palisades have a water capacity that is still more than three-quarters full.
