Park staff have completed the April 1 snow surveys. The water content of the snowpack in the Tuolumne drainage is 46% of average; in the Merced drainage it is 49% of average.

How much snow did this weekend's storm end up bringing? Hopefully that bumped these very low percentages up by a not insignificant amount.

According to the CDEC website, I think the snowpack for the Central Sierra went from about 51% to 64% of April 1 average since April 1. Still a dry year, but not as bad as it was looking around mid-March.
