"California's Snowpack and Reservoir Levels: A 20-Year Comparison"

California's Sierra snowpack, crucial for water supply, has seen fluctuations over the past 20 years, with wet years followed by severe droughts. The current snowpack holds a healthy 27.3 inches of water on average after winter storms alleviated concerns of a "snow drought." However, with human-caused climate change, higher temperatures are intensifying droughts, and the state's average snowpack is projected to shrink significantly as temperatures continue to climb.
