The Sierra Nevada snowpack currently stands at 90% of its historical average, signaling a significant improvement from last year's measly 38%. Such snow levels are crucial for water management, especially as the dry season approaches in May. Snowpack is essential for about one-third of California's water supply. Measurements indicate varied conditions across the Sierra, with the northern region experiencing above-average snow, while central and southern areas are below average. Experts emphasize the unpredictable nature of California's climate, warning residents to prepare for potential flooding or drought in the future.
