Quick Glance: Extreme Yosemite rain relieves drought but harms wildlife habitats
- Scott Gediman, a Yosemite park ranger for 27 years, has never seen so much winter snow and water in the park.
- "You bank all the snow up in the high country and then in the warm weather, the water comes down."

- "We don't want people to come to Yosemite and not see Yosemite Falls in future years because we have no snowpack because of climate change," Pratt said.
