Record-breaking snowpack across the state of California has brought a welcome sight to local mountain creeks and streams, which have been dry for the past three years.

Eaton Canyon in Pasadena is just one area experiencing a surge of water flow. Hikers have reported climbing through thigh-high water to reach a now-raging 40-foot waterfall.

April's Sierra snow survey confirms that the statewide snowpack is currently 237 percent above the average for this time of year, tying the oldest statewide snowpack record from 1952.
