The snow pack has melted from the Summerland Reservoir measurement site, but some snow still remains at the Isintok Lake site.

The May 1 measurements showed no snow remaining at the Summerland Reservoir and just 310 millimetres of snow, or the equivalent of 90 millimetres of water, at the Isintok Lake site.
