Recent storms prompted the state to release water from the main spillway at Lake Oroville midday Friday, with snowmelt likely to further swell lake levels in the coming months. Weeks of relentless snowfall has kept the state's transportation agency busy clearing roads of 45 million cubic yards of snow in the past month, enough to "fill more than 100 Rose Bowls," said California Department of Transportation Chief Deputy Director Mike Keever. "And we're also likely to see this weather pattern continuing as we go into at least the first half of next week." "We will see additional rounds of both rain and heavy mountain snow redevelop across much of Northern and Central California as we go through the weekend," Lawrence told reporters at OES headquarters in the Sacramento suburb of Mather. John Bays clears snow off his driveway after a series of storms, in Lake Arrowhead, Calif., on March 8, 2023. The storm waned throughout Saturday, but another strong atmospheric event is expected on Monday that could bring more snow in the higher-elevated mountain regions and renewed flooding concerns.
