Sierra Nevada snowpack at lowest level in 10 years: What it means for California’s water supply

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 15:23:18 GMT

California’s statewide Sierra Nevada snowpack — the source of nearly one-third of the state’s water supply — is at its lowest level in a decade, a major turnaround from last year when huge storms ended a three year-drought and buried ski resorts in massive amounts of snow.On Tuesday, the snowpack was just 25% of its historical average for Jan. 2. The last time there was less snow at the beginning of a new year was on Jan. 2, 2014, when it stood at just 19%.The lack of snow so far this year is due to fewer big storms hitting the state than normal, and when storms have come, they have been warmer, depositing snow mostly at higher elevations.But the meager totals so far across California’s pre-eminent mountain range are not a cause to panic, experts say.Not only are there three months left in the winter season, which typically ends in early April, but last year’s soaking winter filled reservoirs across the state. That “money in the bank” means chances are ...
