it’s hard to remember that we’re still in the middle of a drought when there’s been so much rain of late.

the california department of water resources says:

As of April 30, 2010, statewide hydrologic conditions were as follows: precipitation, 110 percent of average to date; runoff, 75 percent of average to date; and reservoir storage, 95 percent of average for the date. Sacramento River unimpaired runoff observed through April 30, 2010 was about 9.9 million acre-feet (MAF), which is about 72 percent of average.

For comparison, on April 30, 2009, the observed Sacramento River unimpaired runoff through that date was about 8.6 MAF, or about 63 percent of average. In general, April was wet and cool due to a series of cold, late-winter storms that brought significant precipitation to the state.
