California’s reservoirs maintain capacity as snowpack struggles to rebuild
California nears competition of a January that has seen far less rain and snow than the previous year leaving a significantly lower snowpack while reservoirs statewide remain at historic highs. The month began with a disappointing snowpack measurement in the Central Sierra Nevada at the Phillips Station snow survey. Snowpack levels were measured at 30% of the average for Jan. 2, which was a stark contrast to the over 200% above average snowpack measurement taken at the same location on Jan. 10, 2023.
