February snow survey reveals January storms doubled California's snowpack

California's Department of Water Resources kicked off February with its second snow survey of the season. Following a very cold and snowy month of January, it comes as no surprise that the statewide snowpack has grown quite a bit. "This is exactly what California needed to start to break away from years of drought," said Karla Nemeth, the director of DWR. As of Tuesday's readings, the statewide snowpack is at 128% of the April 1 average.
