NPR's Ari Shapiro talks with Andrew Schwartz of the UC Berkeley Central Sierra Snow Lab about how record snowfall in western states could mean a less drought-ridden 2023.

While the first of two expected winter storms made travel in the Sacramento region and Sierra Nevada difficult Thursday, researchers are hopeful it will bring needed snowpack to the state.
