California's snowpack has made an 'amazing comeback' this winter, according to a respected storm chaser at the University of California, Davis.In April, the state's total snowpack levels measured 110 percent of normal, prompting atmospheric science student Colin McCarthy to tweet: 'California's snowpack was just 28% of normal on January 1. An unprecedented winter comeback in the modern era.
But a most recent storm over the Easter weekend has brought even more snow to the mountains, meaning snowpack levels have made an unexpected comeback.Temperatures hovered around 50 degrees Fahrenheit during these most recent storms, when the snowpack recovered.Snowpack is vital to the state's water supply. In the spring months, when the snow melts, the water feeds into rivers and reservoirs.The more snow in the mountains, the better the water storage.
