The only minor good news is that the Colorado River basin is above normal for their rainfall and snow pack which means there is some water moving down through and will make its way towards socal.
Interesting fact from another meeting today - out of all the snow pack in the sierras last year, scientists estimated that over 40% of it never ran off into the streams and lakes, but rather, evaporated into the atmosphere due to the severe temperature changes from spring to summer. I guess 30 degree temps one week and 75 degree temps the next week do that.
