Update on astounding Cal water year totals through April

Unbelievable….  Well over 100 inches in the coastal range just north of San Luis Obispo (see arrow below).    And, check those max totals in the table at right, too.

April also produced significant precip in central and northern Cal with almost 20 inches of water at the wettest site.  More will accrue in May, too.

And remember most of all, that no one saw this incredible year coming!  I think that’s why we love weather.

Makes up for the disappointing Big Niño water year of 2015-16, too.
