California's snowpack is now an absurd 215% of the peak April 1 average.
With more storms coming next week, the state could have its largest snowpack in recorded history by late March, beating out 1982-1983.

Dam Spillway releases increasing to 35K cfs. Inflow now at 40kcfs. Can't keep up. Via CHP Oroville: Due to increased outflow from the Oroville Dam Spillway and safety concerns, Oro Dam Blvd. East will be closed to traffic from Canyon Dr. to Glen Dr. There will be manned hard closures at both locations. Please seek alternate routes.
