Sierra snow pack is four times the size it was at this time last year

Welcome to the new ice age.  Just you wait until the Laurentide Ice Sheet starts up again!




A barrage of storms at the start of January dumped impressive amounts of snow over the Sierra Nevada mountain range, pushing the statewide snow pack to 115 percent of average as of Tuesday, according to data from the California Department of Water Resources.

Both the Northern Sierra and the Central Sierra, stretching from the Trinity Alps to Yosemite National Park, stand at 115 percent of average. The southern region, which includes Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks, is at 110 percent.
