2 weeks ago I drove to Reno NV over I-80 (Donner Pass) and was surprised to see nearly no snow at all in the highest of the Sierra’s. We have no snow-pack. This is rare. This is scary.
Checkout the snow still on the slopes at Big Sky. Bigskyresort.com/the-mountain/webcams/moonlight-lodge-cam
We went camping two weeks ago near Placerville and the Sierra’s I could see were white with snow.
While I respect your first-hand observation, your comment rubs the wrong way if the chart is indicative of facts

Low snowfall seems a fairly regular occurrence.
