Before and after pictures show key difference in Nevada snowpack
Photos recently shared by the National Weather Service (NWS) office in Las Vegas revealed a key difference in snowpack levels between this year and last year. After years of drought, an abnormally wet winter produced more than a dozen atmospheric rivers that brought a deluge of rain and snow to the region. A similarly wet winter has happened this year, with multiple atmospheric rivers bringing torrential downpours to California, Nevada, and other western states. However, despite the storms, the region’s snowfall hasn’t been as impressive as it was last year.
