From a NYT Article-Excerpted for fair use reasons. It looks like the data on the cal gov site showing no snowpack in all three Sierra regions is a glitch.

The Sierra Nevada finally got a big snowfall this week in a winter that has so far been marked by warm storms that have brought more rain and slush than snow to the mountain range. Snowfall totals for Wednesday night to Friday morning ranged from four and a half feet on Mount Rose in Nevada to three feet at Donner Pass in California.

.........

Several storms have swept the Sierra this winter, and they have not only trended warmer but also favored the northern portion.

This is evident in the data collected by the California Department of Water Resources, which shows the northern snowpack is bigger in size than it has typically been at this time of year, while the central and southern half of the snowpack are below normal. The agency carefully tracks the snowpack because it provides about 30 percent of the state’s water supply in a good year.
