FILE - In this Feb. 28, 2019, file photo, John King, right, of the Department of Water Resources, carries the snowpack measuring tube as he crosses a meadow while conducting the third manual snow survey of the season at the Phillips Station near Echo Summit, Calif. The survey found the snowpack at 113 inches deep with a snow water equivalent of 43.5 inches at this location at this time of year. California water officials say the amount of snow blanketing the Sierra Nevada is even bigger than the 2017 snowpack that pulled the state out of a five-year drought. The Department of Water Resources says as of May 30, 2019, the Sierra snowpack measured 202% of average after a barrage of wet storms. (AP Photo/Rich Pedroncelli, File)
