Sierra Snowpack Above Normal

The recent storms are help­ing the Sierra snow­pack. The Depart­ment of Water Resources says their elec­tronic read­ings put the snow­pack at 146-percent of nor­mal for this time of year. Crews will go out on foot in the Sierra on Wednes­day of next week to con­duct the first offi­cial snow sur­vey of the year. The snow­pack pro­vides drink­ing water for mil­lions of Californians.
