LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- The California Department of Water Resources' third snow survey of the season found the fifth consecutive dry month of the state's water year and is pointing toward possible drought conditions.
The manual survey at Phillips Station, south of Lake Tahoe, recorded 56 inches of snow depth which translates to 21 inches of water. The measurement is 86% of the average for Phillips Station, but statewide the numbers are more grim, showing California's overall snowpack was 61% of the historical March 2 average, and 54% of the average on April 1, when it is historically at its maximum.
