It's official: per the U.S. Drought Monitor: the county is no longer "in drought". The last series of Bomb Cyclones, Pineapple Expresses, and plain ol' Atomospheric Rivers... "turned the tide"?!

33 inches of rain has fallen in my yard...good but not like the 55 inches in '82-83' or 2016 when we got 45 inches. The record stunning snowpack in the Sierras is over 500 inches. Skiing is expected to last through July. The snow melt should add to the watertable. The sad part is while the rivers streams, and creeks are running rampant, storage of the water is nonexistent against future need-it largely flows to the sea. The groundwater levels and aquifers, relentlessly pumped out by large-scale agriculture are barely replenished and desperately need refilling. The government needs to enhance it storage strategy to better utilize the gift we've been getting.
