“California has always experienced some degree of swings between wet and dry, but the past few months have demonstrated how much more extreme those swings are becoming,” said CA_DWR director Karla Nemeth.
The 400-mile stretch of the Sierra Nevada Mountain range is blanketed in winter white, the most snow California has seen since 1995, thanks to a smattering of winter storms that topped up reservoirs and restored the state’s dwindling snowpack.
But the recent wet weather has assuaged some fears about entering another year of protracted drought, prompting officials to boost water deliveries to 29 water agencies serving 27 million Californians late last month following the nine atmospheric rivers that drenched the state. Last January, Phillips Station recorded the seventh-highest snowpack measurements on record, sparking hope for the months ahead. But those hopes were dashed when the initial survey was followed by three months of extremely dry conditions, resulting in the third-lowest snowpack recorded.

California Has Huge Snowpack, But Dry Trend Raises WorriesWater officials say the mountain snowpack that supplies a significant amount of California’s water got an incredible boost from recent powerful storms. But the weather has turned drier, and it’s too soon to tell if this winter will be a drought-buster. The California Department of Water Resources says the water content in the statewide snowpack on Wednesday is 205% of normal to date and 128% of the April 1 average, its historical peak. The massive snowpack was largely left by nine atmospheric rivers from late December through mid-January. The water content currently outpaces California’s record 1982-83 season. But the forecast is for continuing dryness.
