California Is Mostly Drought-Free For The First Time In Years

After years of brown lawns and millions of dead trees, California has finally reached a point where most of the state is officially drought-free. The state’s snowpack is now at 193 percent the average for this time of year compared to two years ago when the snowpack was well under 10 percent come spring — the most diminished snowpack in centuries. The apparent end of the drought across much of the state has officials debating whether to halt the mandatory conservation measures Californians have grown accustomed to.
