CA begins 2025 with solid start to winter snowpack, but more storms are needed

California's winter snowpack is off to a strong start in 2025, but more storms are needed for sustained water supply.

Sierra Nevada snowpack above average to start the year, a promising sign for state water supplies

California's water outlook for 2025 is optimistic, with strong snowpack and reservoir levels indicating less risk of water shortages this summer.

Sierra snowpack sees promising start as California water officials take first survey of 2025

California's snowpack measurements indicate a solid start to the water year, but uneven distribution of snow remains a significant concern.

California's biggest winter storm so far is on its way after a slow start for Sierra snow

Two storms are expected to bring significant snowfall to the Sierra Nevada mountains in California this week.
The storms will help improve the snowpack in the area, which has been relatively low so far this winter season.

December Was One of the Warmest on Record in the State

December 2023 was the toastiest December in California since 1958 and the fourth warmest since 1895.
The warm temperatures in California have led to a diminished snowpack, with the snowpack being only 35% of what it typically is for that date.

Blame Climate Change For The World's Shrinking Snowpack

River basins around the world are experiencing shrinking snowpack due to climate change.
Areas with winter temperatures warmer than 17.6 degrees Celsius are particularly susceptible to rapid snow declines.

Climate change is shrinking snowpack in many places, study shows. And it will get worse

River basins around the world are experiencing a decline in snowpack due to climate change.
Areas with winter temperatures warmer than 17.6 degrees Celsius are particularly vulnerable to rapid and accelerating losses of snowpack.

Spring snowpack has shrunk significantly over the last 40 years due to warming

Seasonal snowpack across the Northern Hemisphere has significantly shrunk over the last 40 years due to global warming, putting millions of people at risk of worsening water instability.
River basins in the Southwestern and Northeastern United States, as well as Central and Eastern Europe, have seen the sharpest declines in snow water equivalent, with decreases of 10% to 20% per decade.

Enigmatic Alpine avalanches to get a boost as Earth warms

Climate change increases the risk of wet-snow avalanches in the Swiss Alps despite reduced overall snowpack.

What to Read During a Warm, Weird Winter

Winter is changing due to climate change, with record-breaking cold temperatures and low snowfall becoming more common
The decline in snowpack is most significant in the southwestern and northeastern United States

After winter storms, California can expect a late start to the wildfire season

Late-season winter storms filled reservoirs and boosted snowpack in California, leading to a potentially delayed wildfire season.
Above-average snowpack correlates with below-average acres burned in California according to meteorologists.
