Sierra snowpack down to 64% with no major storms on horizon as winter rainy season has only 1 month left.
Get ready for more brown lawns, high fire danger and water restrictions this summer.
In January and February, the 8-Station Northern Sierra Index, a collection of key weather stations near major reservoirs like Shasta and Oroville in Northern California, received only 1.74 inches of precipitation. That’s 10% of average, and the all-time lowest amount since records began in 1921. The Sierra Nevada snowpack — which provides nearly one-third of California’s water supply — on Monday was 64% of its historical average for that date, based on automatic sensors spread out over hundreds of miles. That’s nearly the same as where it was last year on March 1, when it was 61%, and is nothing less than a massive collapse from the 168% of normal it was on New Year’s Day.
“Reduce your outdoor water use, if not cut it back entirely,” Callender said. “It’s time to put buckets back in the showers. They never should have been taken out.”
