"Winter hasn't quite arrived in Tahoe yet." A quote from the Union Tribune article reported by Hayley Smith. "The projections "are a little bit shocking", said Alan Rhodes, a hydroclimate research scientist and co-author of the study. "As a kid who grew up in the Sierra, it's kind of hard to fathom a low-to-no-snow future." As goes the snowpack in the Sierra Nevada, so goes the water supply for southern California. A new study by researchers at LBNL found the already dwindling snowpack across California could shrink even more - or in some cases - disappear before the end of the century. Residents or farmers in southern California might ask, from where will water come in ten years? Twenty years? Fifty years?
