'We’re not looking OK': Sierra snowpack low despite storm
Published on March 05, 2018 at 10:29PM by By Kurtis Alexander
The storm that wrought avalanches at ski resorts and white-outs on mountain roads last week was so fierce that California water officials postponed their much-anticipated monthly snow survey. But on Monday, when state officials proceeded with the measurements under sunny skies in the high Sierra, they found that the biggest storm of the winter did little to ease fears of renewed drought. Snowpack at Phillips Station in El Dorado County, the state’s traditional survey spot south of Lake Tahoe, was at 39 percent of average, while snowpack statewide was 37 percent of average.
