Snowpack

Snow measurements are done on or about the 1st and 15th of each month from the beginning of December to when the snow is gone in March or April. Five locations are monitored by the RVCA in the lower watershed east of Smiths Falls and another six in the upper watershed are monitored by staff of the Rideau Canal Office of Parks Canada.

Data from the RVCA sites are available by clicking on the station name, below, or clicking on the site on the WIMS map.
