snowpack

The state’s snowpack in the Sierra reached exactly 100% of average for the season April 4, the department said.

Southern California cities can expect to receive 50% of their full water allotments this year from the aqueducts of the State Water Project, up from 40% last month, as runoff from this year’s ample snowpack continues to fill reservoirs in Northern California.

Despite a drier than normal winter in some parts of the state, California is enjoying a plush snowpack.

The statewide snowpack was 101% of average as of Friday.

The snowpack measured 122% of average in the northern Sierra Nevada, 97% of average in the central Sierra and 86% of average in the southern Sierra.
