California is heading into its fourth straight spring of strong water storage, with most of the state’s major reservoirs nearly full, despite one of the worst snowpacks in recorded history.
State reservoirs are at 118% of the historical average for late April.
Four consecutive years of strong storage is a remarkable streak for a state that has spent much of the 21st century going from one record-breaking drought to the next.
Amazing: LA schools will eliminate personal devices in K and 1st grade, and limit use in grades 2-5, and give parents more options. I think this will catch on nationally:
On this date last year, the snowpack depth was at 70% of average. Today's results found no measurable snow and reflect California’s weather whiplash and how quickly conditions can change. This year’s extremely hot and dry conditions throughout the month of March, along with a warm atmospheric river system in late February, initiated snowmelt several weeks ahead of schedule.

A steal: Reader gives ball signed by Hall of Famer Lou Brock in the '80s to yours truly, a @Cardinals fan since the '70s, knowing I'd appreciate it. I do! Brock was one of my early favorite players. https://t.co/vX2h4eVHgy

The state's topline jobs report paints a worrisome picture: businesses have shed 20k jobs so far this year and more workers are unemployed. But what do other data sources say? 🧵 [1/7] https://t.co/CqNLPHMTQO
