Thank goodness! The reservoirs are starting to fill up (1/3+ now). The snowpack is 150% to 200% of normal in different part of the Sierras. The rivers are getting their fill. And the groundwater will start to replenish.

Hopefully, they can repair the broken levies, and it's sad for those that lost their lives during the rain storms.

Even if the snowpack is 200% above normal, if the rest of the season is dry, will that be any help?

An article I read this morning on Accuweather said the current snowpack is greater than what they typically see in April at the end of the season. It seems to me that as long as they can hold onto it e.g. we don't get some weird warming spell that melts it all, they should be good for this year.
