No snow for NYC sets 154 year record and still waiting


Recommended Posts

Well, someone is getting the snow.

The snowpack in the Sierra Nevada mountains, which has continued to increase throughout January as a result of storms battering much of the state since the New Year, might help California combat its ongoing drought.

As of January 20, the Sierra snowpack state-wide was at 240 percent of the average for this time of year. The South Sierra stations, located between the San Joaquin and Mono counties through to Kern county, reported snowpacks at 283 percent of the January 20 average.

The Sierra Nevada snowpack usually peaks around April 1. Currently, state-wide, the snowpack is at 126 percent of the average for April 1, with the South Sierras in particular at 149 percent.

Climate extremes are a result of climate change….  Last time the Sierra’s had this level of snow fall it damn near blew out a dam, which in turn dried up 2 years later
