There were only 12 Avalanche deaths this winter (2016/17) in the U.S. The annual average is 27. So, what happened?

Miracle March: California’s Reservoirs Are Filling Up Fast March truly has been a miracle for California residents. Over the last two weeks of storms, the two largest reservoirs- Oroville and Shasta, have surpassed historical averages for this year, for the first time since 2013.

California Statewide Snowpack Currently at 19% of Average Yes, we know that California is having a dry year. But, it is interesting to hear just how dry we are.

Tahoe = 2nd Lowest Snow Year on Record | 54% of Average Snowfall in 2012/13 I just got off the phone with the Randall Osterhuber at the UC Berkeley Central Sierra Snow Laboratory. We talked about snow, rain, and sun. He gave me the numbers for the 2012/13 season and he never once had any inflection in his voice. Just basic, monotone, telling it like it is. THE BOTTOM LINE for 2012/13: – Our 2nd […] Weather Miles Clark | April 25, 2013 9 Comments
