Oh yay.... Everyone makes a huge deal (especially now in our 24 hour news cycle) about this kind of thing.
Drought? Yes....and it's a normal weather cycle for here.....but we didn't just roll out of it in one year. like they may be reporting.
We have two different rain gauges, in two different spots on our property and we track it religiously. Plus, we don't count anything under 1/4" so our measurements are conservative.
In 2014/2015, we measures 30" (almost average for Volcano).
In 2015/2016, we measured 42".
This 2016/2017 season, we've already hit 58" with March and April yet to go.
Fact is CA gets its weather from 5 different directions and it cycles between wet and dry about every 7 or so years, at least in the 58 years I've lived here.
