A series of atmospheric river storms brought California heavy rains and an above-average snowpack across the Sierra Nevada, but experts say the state still needs many more storms to begin to emerge from drought.
Snowpack across the Sierra Nevada now measures 174% of average for this time of year. But there are still three months left in the snow season, and the snow that has fallen to date remains just 64% of the April 1 average.
Nearly 6 feet of snow had piled up as of Tuesday at the snow laboratory at Donner Pass, and Schwartz said the next storm is expected to bring 2 to 3 feet more snow on Wednesday and Thursday. “Realistically, we’re looking at needing several above-average years to come out of the drought,” Schwartz said.
State water officials were holding their first manual snow survey of the year on Tuesday at the Phillips Station snow course, one of more than 260 sites across the Sierra Nevada where the state tracks the snowpack.
