State officials delivered devastating news today about state water supplies. The Sierra Nevada snowpack has fallen well below normal levels. Scientists with the Department of Water Resources found snowpack water content averaging only 67 percent -- two thirds of normal -- throughout the Sierra. Snow surveyors say heavy snows in early winter melted away in March and April, as California experienced the driest two months on record.
