With ski season’s premature end across North America and most of the world, California’s snowpack currently sits at 63% of its average to date.ย
According to the NOAA,
A wet March and start to April has brought an increase to the snowpack across NorCal. The state snowpack is sitting at 63% of average to date.

Below is a visual representation of the state of the western United States’ snowpack.
Itโs not 63% above average, itโs 63% of average (or 37% below average).
Isn’t “63% of average” different than “63% above average” (the latter of which would imply a total of 163% of average?)
63% OF Average, not above average. still 37% below average snowpack for now
Thank you for clarifying this error!
