A good start to the rainy season in November-December gave way to a disappointing heart of the rainy season in January-February with drier and warmer than normal conditions.
However, the latest series of March storms to slam California has meant San Francisco’s rainy season has went from below to above normal and snowfall in the Sierra is above normal unlike the previous 4 years.

Up to 5ft fell in the mountains south of Tahoe in the last 3 days.
The entire Sierra snowpack currently sits at 94%, above normal just south of Tahoe but below normal further south.
Reservoir levels are also on the rise with Shasta at 103% of normal. South Bay reservoirs are at 64% and rising.
What a difference a mere 4 months makes to Uvas Reservoir, now at 104% of normal. Photos courtesy of Darcie Nelson.
