The California Department of Water Resources gave an update with the results of the snowpack survey. The snowpack is projected to be more than 235% of normal for the month of April.
Officials with the California Department of Water Resources conducted its fourth snow survey of the season at Philips Station in the Sierra Nevada.
DWR's electronic readings from 130 snow sensors placed throughout the state indicate the statewide snowpack's snow water equivalent is 61.1 inches, or 237 percent of average for this date. Officials said there have been three other years where April's snowpack has been greater than 200% of average: 1950 to 1969, and 1983.
Officials say this will depend on how quickly the state warms up, but they say longer daylight hours trigger a faster snow melt. They're waiting on final data to determine if we've set a record
