A guy out there said if the West gets the kind of snow they're getting this year for the next 10 years they'll approach the end of the drought.
Not with over 90% of the water flowing back into the ocean.
Nice late snow - good!!

Can both be correct? Many local & regional reservoirs that were dangerously low are now full or will be and a large snowpack melt might not be ideal for aquifer recharging it sure can't hurt. Lake Meade and Lake Powell probably need more than 10 years of good precip to fill back up.
What's the elevation? Is this something unusual in winter?
6000+ ft... This much is usual as it rarely rains around here. So for it to rain and be cold is not common. We had record amount of snow at my place in the desert last night. I took a pic.

While it's 80° here today. Not complaining though.
It snowed a little on hwy 17 just south of me in the Santa Cruz Mountains. 2 weeks ago we got hail at the Santa Cruz Costco when I was buying a battery for my niece's Odyssey.
Last snow I was in was in the Santa Cruz Mountains, same place, thousands of years ago. Kinda cool, people sticking their arms and heads out the window on the highway. Of course we were barely moving...

Chris, you better fire up the snowblower!
They are predicting 3-4 FEET of snow in the big bear area behind us. This amount is almost unheard of here. We had a lot of snow coming down a couple of hours ago. So much that visibility was very limited. Then the clouds went away,it warmed up to 46 and it's all gone now.
Ya we don't do snow well.
