Reservoirs Slowly Filling, Sierra Snowpack above Normal

The second Sierra snowpack measurement of the winter is Tuesday. January has brought much needed snow, but February may start a bit more slowly.

 

It was the best month for snowpack in January since 2011.

 

And the statewide snowpack is above normal.

“We’ve not had a snowpack for the last four years, anything worth writing home about, so this is obviously very significant for this time of year,” says Meteorologist Michelle Mead, with the National Weather Service in Sacramento.
