The rainfall Sunday night in parts of New Mexico was most welcome. The winter snowpack is off to a slow start. A good snowpack would be a much needed shot in the arm.

Streamflows on the Rio Grande decreased over the past week but are still above normal. Streamflows Sunday (1116) were 676 cubic feet per second at Taos Junction Bridge and 727 at Embudo.
