As rain continued to dump rain on much of Southern California and snow covered mountain peaks Thursday, we could see an even better map this time next week.
The Sierra Nevada range has seen more snow than in over a decade, and that’s good news for California’s snowpack. One spot near Lake Tahoe has recorded a whopping 17 feet of snow so far, a record for the month of December.
Snow in the mountains has meant rain, rain and more rain along the coast, especially in the Bay Area. San Francisco has seen one of its rainiest early winters since the 1980s.

Ya gotta luv Climate Change....
5 bucks says they will just let all that snowmelt run into the ocean.
Oh no ….. they are setting up to blame the next earthquake on snow and rain
The nice thing is that it’s always changing.
Having lived in California since 1973 (now part time in Idaho), I’ve seen quite a few drought / monsoon cycles. This is perfectly NORMAL for California, but the green kook hysterics will start wailing that this is PROOF of climate change and day now.
It's beyond incompetent. It is borderline criminal.
No sale! All that federal money they got to fix their dams went in the suckass democraps pockets.
“...one of its rainiest early winters since the 1980s.”
I remember it well. We were landlords for our first (and only) rental house in Scotts Valley. The winter of ‘83 was so wet that it eroded a six foot deep trench down the middle of our private road on the west side of SV. That sure made property access and the sale of that place a challenge. What a money loser that was!
The Left knows gullible people have short memories, though. The next year with below-average rainfall, they’ll be back screaming how the drought will kill us all unless we build windmill-powered cars.
That’s #1 on Newsom’s list.
If he can’t have a drought to bellyache about “climate change”, he’ll create one.
Did the same damn thing with the massive snowpack and reserve from 2017.
This is more the historic California norm, a back and forth cycle between wet and dry periods, and California’s natural plant life demonstrates it, with a mix of lush green and drought resistant plants.
“5 bucks says they will just let all that snowmelt run into the ocean.”
Every reservoir will be topped off, full.
What do you propose to do with the rest of it?
We would see an even better map, or never see the first map, if they would capture the rain that runs to the ocean. It’s another cluster F* that has been going on a repetitive cycle for decades. Drought 1 year, put a brick in your toilet, rains the next year & nobody cares about the previous drought. Followed by drought, flood, drought, flood......
“but the green kook hysterics will start wailing that this is PROOF of climate change and day now”
In early October said Kook neighbor was hissing at us that it wasn’t going to rain this winter cuz Climate Change and she’s a scientist an all that (biologist, so she knows all about integrating the Navier-Stokes equations, right?) and I was being polite and saying Well we’re about in the middle of the cycle and was guessing about average.
Snow / Rain in late October made her look a bit nervous but the dry spot in November got her confidence back up...and then THIS. Time to climb on the broom and fly around the room screaming I’ll get you my pretties! Complete disaster...it snowed.
Just like it always does, and has, for the last few thousand years. No matter how many BMWs roar up and down 101.
Don’t waste a good crisis!
True Story:
Albert Hammond Told us about this 47 years ago.

How about using it to hose down SanFan and L.A.
They could both use a good douching.
Yeah, so much for all that climate change drought panic.
“What do you propose to do with the rest of it?“
They should have built more storage in the past to collect water from a season like this
Typical la Niña weather patterns. Cold and wet in the northwest, above average warmth in the southeast.
