I see that "Drought Monitor" is showing us almost drought free. It may be a temporary state. They show drought conditions east of us, literally drawing the line in Arizona just east of the Colorado River. Little things can make that line shift big distances. We are about to venture into a period with almost two weeks without rain. That will make the line shift westwards. But hey, no drought, even temporarily, is good news. It's rare when all of California has had enough water.
Currently, rainfall is 145% of average in Sacramento. Good! There are still potential weaknesses, though. The snowpack in the Sierras has been running about 70% of normal, mostly because the storm systems have been pretty warm and the snowline is high. We need to beef up those numbers.
