Yet another ironical evidence of climate change. One in the mountains of Sierra Nevada, which coincidentally mean ‘snowy’ range. A new study has found that the snowpack in the Sierra Nevadas is the lowest it’s been in the past 500 years. Definitely not good news for California which depends on this snowpack for water. A debilitating drought, fierce wildfires, and now a declining snowpack, things sure are not looking good for the city.
