Jeff Anderson, hydrologist for NRCS Nevada, points out two holes where he has measured the snowpack. One was fresh, and the other was from his last measurement Jan. 10. He said that in his years of measuring snowpack, he has never seen a sample hole remain intact for so long. (Photo: Faith Evans/Nevada Appeal)
