Still low but a definite improvement.

A lot of the rain we recently had was just too warm to help the snowpack. It certainly helped fill the reservoirs though. We'll be fine for water.

No worries for us.

 

I hope we can still get a pattern that sends all the precip and mountain snow through Oregon and CA this spring.     Send it where its actually needed.
