The annual April snow survey in California's Sierra Nevada is crucial as it indicates the peak of the snow season. This year, the survey revealed a positive trend: California has reached a snowpack trifecta with three consecutive years of average or above-average snowfall, the first time in 25 years. Following an unprecedented dry spell from 2020 to 2022, water managers in Southern California adapted by increasing water imports from Northern California and the Colorado River, leading to significant conservation efforts that are now sustaining water supply and reliability.
This often goes unappreciated but the local conservation effort and conservation ethic here in Southern California is alive and well.
This year marks... the third consecutive year of average or above-average snowfall, a snowpack trifecta not seen in 25 years.
