Tuesday Top of the Scroll: More heavy Sierra snow coming this week. What it means for California drought, fires
A pair of storms will reach Northern California this week, with lighter showers Tuesday intensifying to heavy April snow in the Sierra Nevada mountains later in the week….Spring snowfall has helped boost California a bit after an exceptionally dry January through March. But it’s still very unlikely to bust the drought, as the recent storms represent just a fraction of the snowpack lost to record-low precipitation earlier in the year, and the window for more heavy snow is quickly closing before summer heat arrives.
