California and the U.S.

Dry Weather Continues in California. Time To Start Worrying About Another Drought?

December 12, 2017/in California and the U.S. /by Ed Joyce /The Sacramento Bee

Precipitation levels in Sacramento and most major California cities are below average for this time of year. The Sierra Nevada snowpack is just 37 percent of normal. The U.S. Drought Monitor says about one-third of California is either facing moderate drought conditions or is abnormally dry, with all of the dry areas lying south of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta.

Our snowpack is off to an great start. However, for every day it doesn’t rain... or #snow, CA gradually returns to dry conditions. Over the next few months, it is important that we still see periodic rain & snow storms to keep an above average pace for our precipitation totals.
