Los Angeles Times —
California’s mountains are covered with snow, reservoirs are mostly filled and hills across the state are sprouting green grass and wildflowers after the latest round of soaking storms.
The snowpack across the Sierra Nevada now stands at 105% of average for this time of year, and state officials will provide an update on conditions Tuesday when they conduct their April snow survey, which is typically when the snowpack reaches its peak.
The state’s major reservoirs are at 116% of average levels, and are set to rise further as snowmelt streams in.
After a second wet winter, the state is heading into spring and summer with boosted water supplies.
