Wet weather is again hitting drought-stricken California as the second and larger of two back-to-back storms makes its way ashore. The storms are part of an atmospheric river, a narrow channel of concentrated moisture in the atmosphere connecting tropical air with colder, drier regions around Earth’s middle latitudes.

Already the state is saying the deluge from yesterday did NOTHING to put a dent in the drought.
Their way of saying they want to use the old crisis to tax us some more or to restrict our behavior.
Plenty of snow here for the tourists. The slopes are pretty well covered.
If you like to spend your time in the backcountry, we could use a few more feet - especially closer to lake level.
The complaining about too much rain has already begun....
That is because they intend to use all the water to save the delta smelt rather than feed the farms.
We got 1/4 of our annual rainfall yesterday.
Our government is already starving the world by converting lots of corn crops to crops for fuel, now this?
Our government elites tend to show on their best days maybe the brains of a Spice Girl.
Spice Girls have brains? Who knew?
Obama is more than Scary Spice, he’s SCARY SCARY SCARY Spice.

We call them the drought Nazis.
When fascists control our water, they control us.
One of the water control facist groups in the south bay got caught releasing at least a million gallons of water before the latest storms hit.

There is no connection to Hawaii moisture, their precipitable waters are well BELOW NORMAL and a look at the evolution reveals this is coming out of the northern branch, from the west northwest . What are we growing pineapples south of Alaska now.
Its nonsense. SST are very warm in North Pacific and helping, I am posting on weatherbell.com now to show what nonsense this is as a look at past 48 hours reveal this coming from the wnw with no connection to tropics, since precipitable water is BELOW NORMAL.
Typical lump something together under a convenient idea. Weather much more complex than that.
They are hideous people in government IMO. We need to get better people that want good function and a modest price.
Also need to retire tons of government employees which is a taxpayer expense to the private sector to make them tax payers instead of tax takers.
Unfortunately, no perfect amount of rain or sun will ever save us from relentless doomsday weather propaganda.
“...they intend to use all the water to save the delta smelt rather than feed the farms”
‘Zackly. The farmers in the Central Valley are solidly Conservative, and the Sacramento Democrats want to drive them out of business and weaken the politics of the one area in the State that they don’t control. 75% of this drought (for farmers, anyway) is man-made.
I love the “pineapple express.” Just got back from a 3 mile walk in the South Bay hills with a constant light warm drizzle and the sun peaking through the clouds now and then. Everything is fresh and clean...FINALLY. Dear old Dad used to call it “just a spritz.”
Still so dry in the hills that the creeks aren’t even flowing yet. The land is just soaking up the water as it comes down. The Guadalupe River was pretty full yesterday at 237...sure hate to see all that water flowing into the bay.
To boil down your excellent remarks and my lesser ones re the drought Nazis.
Our California cities and counties mini czars are so broke paying themselves, the unions, their illegals and other tax suckers, they seize any opportunity to increase taxes er fees.
Since we need water to survive, they create pumping fees and levels of use fees with higher prices on each level.
Heard on radio some places got EIGHT inches and that did not help? Wow.
No doubt. I checked the caltrans cams yesterday and it looked like rain around Stateline and at the weigh station. That sux. We may drive up to the lake this week.
Unfortunately, human nature is such that hoping for better people in charge is a pipe dream. This is the perpetual promise of the left-wing intellectuals. They dismiss all previous failed attempts at communist nirvana as "not real Communism" because, OBVIOUSLY, those who tried it before were not nearly as smart as today's crop of left-wing intellectuals. Just give us command of the guns and the keys to the treasury, they wheedle, and it will be different next time! But somehow, the People's Republic of True Scotsmen never arrives. Ice cream mixed with s#*t is still s#*t.
All you can do is design government in such a manner that leaders are forced and/or incentivized to make decisions that maximize liberty and keep a boot on the neck of the busybodies. Our forefathers mostly got it right after the Revolution, but it has decayed for at least a hundred years. Someday I hope we get the chance to replace it with something that will really knock the Inspector Javerts into their own cocked hats.
Yeah, ruining the salt levels. Somebody ought to do something about that. How about a dam. Oops. Too many salamanders or something. Never mind.
