Episode Details

Hydrologists in Nevadas Sierra Nevada mountains conducted a crucial snow survey, measuring 71 inches of snow depth and a snow water equivalent of 26.5 inches. Despite this, the snowpack is only at 83% of its usual level for early March. Lower elevations, like the Tahoe and Truckee River basins, are even more concerning, at 60% and 65% of median respectively. Recent warm storms have caused earlier melt, and dry weather is forecasted for the next two weeks. Officials are now hoping for a significant late-March snow buildup to recharge the snowpack before runoff season begins.
