LOS ANGELES — California’s snowpack remains well above average following an epic winter storm that brought seven inches of rain and blizzard-like conditions to the state over the weekend.

The average snowpack statewide is 181% of normal for Feb. 27 and 156% of average for April 1, when it typically peaks, according to the Department of Water Resources. 

The Southern Sierra had the largest snowpack reading. It is 219% of normal for this date and 191% of average for April 1. The Central Sierra ranks second largest with a snowpack reading that is 185% of normal for this date and 160% of average for April 1.

The Department of Water Resources will conduct its next snowpack survey Wednesday at its Phillips Station in West Lake Tahoe. Phillips is one of more than 260 snow courses throughout the state the department measures each winter and early spring to determine how much water will melt and runoff to reservoirs in the warmer months.
