All of that rain has been flowing into reservoirs around the region and storage levels continue to rise.
As of Thursday morning, inflows into Lake Shasta were around 7,400 cfs with storage levels increasing by about 11,000 acre-feet. Lake Shasta is California's largest reservoir with a total capacity of over 4 million acre-feet. It is currently at 34% of
Farther south, Lake Oroville's storage increased by more than 21,000 acre-feet. Oroville is now at 39% of its total capacity which is 74% of the average for today's date.

What a
bizarre attempt at a gotcha. If the reservoirs are releasing snow melt
to make room for rain runoff, isn't that a wash?

That's specific to urban areas.
The general rule is snow melt accounts
for about a third of fresh water.

shouldn't you be complaining about depending on snow melt?

So with proper reservoirs, the "urban" areas could be more than self sufficient
on water supply leaving the snow melt to agriculture.
The general rule is snow melt accounts
for about a third of fresh water.
Who makes this shit up?
The reality is our reservoir system is designed to capture 1/3 of it's storage from snow melt. And worse...it depends on a long slow snow melt.
But it doesn't mean at all that the precipitation in the state is 1/3 snow.
But here's the simple truth. You keep claiming that snow is going become rare.
But nothing has been done to alter our dependence on snow.
So WTF?
And if you claim conservation is the answer I'll point out that agriculture production
in the central valley is way down due to lack of water.
The idiots like to point to the cash value of exports as holding their own....
while you pay a hefty price for ever less veggies.

What you say is not of any real importance since you only regurgitate.
So now you'll have to regurgitate the revised scary prediction of no snow for California in 2050.
Meanwhile I'll have to educate you on where your fruits and vegetables
are grown.

What you say is not of any real importance since you only regurgitate.You tend to freak out when go beyond simple declarative statements or
exact quotes, as demonstrated here when I said informally that snow melt
is where California gets water. Note that this is not meant to be a definitive statement that it's the only source of water for California.
You can tell this from context and by good faith reading.

Yet the moron's in Sacramento are doing nothing to alter that dependency.Unless you count the proposals for desalination,
conservation and
improved water management.

LoL. I just spit in my yard and altered my dependency upon
my irrigation system.

You can have your cheap shitty life.
No fresh veggies, no fruit, 100 watts of power to cook your stale
no meat dehydrated soy protein (that's not even gonna
crank up your microwave). Enjoy it. You earned it.

Apparently, my trifling with your diminished dependency claim was too subtle.
