How Low Is The Snow? A Drought Update

California Department of Water Resources

Recent rain and snow are good to have, but probably not good enough. 

The region is way behind in precipitation, and California's governor already declared a drought weeks ago.  Oregon may follow suit if the conditions demand.  Recent snow surveys show grim news for the months ahead unless there's a lot more precipitation. 

From California's Department of Water Resources, Chief of Cooperative Snow Surveys Frank Gehrke is our guest.
