Meltwater from the Sierra Nevada ice sheet in California supplies 1/3 to 1/2 of the state's water needs each year. The importance of this melting ice cannot be overstated; it is 640 kilometers long, 105 kilometers wide, and 63,100 square kilometers in area! This picture shows a small village that was snowed in after a heavy snowfall yesterday.
