Folsom Lake shrinks to surprising lows over the weekend, water 68 feet lower than last year
The lack of Sierra snowmelt has significantly reduced the size of Folsom Lake. It’s 68 feet lower that it was last year, the equivalent of a five-story building. Only one of the lake’s 13 boat ramps was open over Memorial Day Weekend. … Besides the lack of snowfall, the ground has become so dry that, as the snowpack melts, it’s absorbed into the ground instead of going in the reservoir.
