Rental cabins are partially buried in snow in the Sierra Nevada mountains, ahead of yet another strong storm system which is expected to bring heavy snow to higher elevations, on March 27, 2023 near Mammoth Lakes, California. After years of drought, the state snowpack average for California may hit an all-time record from the several feet of new snow expected to fall during the storm in parts of the Sierra Nevada mountains. On March 24, the southern Sierra Nevada snowpack measured 286 percent of normal, the highest number ever. As global temperatures continue to rise, extreme precipitation events are expected to escalate with increased heat leading to increased atmospheric moisture and storms.
