Struggling To Get To Normal

Storm #3 wasn't nearly as rainy as I had hoped (0.45" at Sac Exec). But January is only one quarter finished, so here's hoping!

Here is a map of percentage of normal rainfall since the start of the water year (October 1, 2015). There are four persistent trouble spots, mostly reflecting rain shadows provided by mountain ranges:


1.) NorCal in general, and particularly Yolo County. (Is the Winters Gyre sabotaging things somehow?);
2.) Los Angeles and Ventura/Oxnard area;
3.) Imperial Valley;
4.) Inland Empire, and out near Bishop.
