The article says Squaw Valley has received 15 feet of snow in the last week, the most in 45 years, and there's another river coming.

Already the Northern Sierras are on pace to have their wettest winter in recorded history.

The enviros forbade the state to build reservoirs, so the bulk of the fresh water will flow freely to the sea. Pity.

See John Wayne, life is harder when you’re stupid.

What do you know? Weather is cyclical. Who knew?

If we have a few wet years they’ll start talking about too much water and complain about that.

Of course they already are to a certain extent.

Damn. Droughts sure suck.

What will California do about GLOBAL WARMING if their drought is over?

It’s not long since all the libtards were crying that humans had caused “climate change” to give CA permanent drought.

It seems that idiocy has been washed away.

I live on the western slope of the Sierras, and we have had 15 (fifteen) inches of rain in the last storm.

Unfortunately, we do not take full advantage of what nature provides us. We allow too much water to flow back to the ocean to flush the delta and save an obscure unimportant fish species instead of prioritizing water storage. There are all kinds of proposals out there that are stymied by Gov Moonbeam and his Sierra Club constituents.

What happened to “Pineapple Express”? Too non-PC???

By the way, a full reservoir does not mean water has permeated down to the water table, and recharged the aquifer.

Not in one short weekend, for sure.

Don’t you just love it when a global warming plan comes together?

WHOA! 3 inches of rain - from one storm!

We had 20 inches in 6 hours overnight at my place last April. Flat land around Houston, too, so it doesn't run off anywhere for days or weeks.

I think northern California now has so much water that in 2017, the farmers in the San Joaquin Valley will likely get 100% of their needed water allocations because it’s likely all the major dams in northern and central California will be close to completely full by April-May 2017. And that could mean record revenue from agriculture for calendar year 2017.

Storms in Northern California that deliver a 1-2 punch are not unusual. One monsoon season when I lived in Sonoma County we got not a 1-2 punch, but a 1-2-3-4-5- ... -47-48-50 punch. That's roughly one major storm every three days for six months.

This winter will fill California water storage reservoirs to the brim. Jerry Brown will order them drained “for the Delta Smelt” bait fish and to create another artificial drought. Brown recently made the temporary drought restrictions permanent, and by damn, he is going to have his drought even if he has to drain every reservoir by June to get his way.

I hate the voters of California. I can’t wait to retire and leave this communist hell hole.
