"We've fared fairly well through this last series of storms," said Richard Armijo, a snow surveyor with the U.S. government's Natural Resources Conservation Service.

Only the Pecos River, which rises on the east flank of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, is forecast to have below-average runoff, and not by much.
