This is why I love bureaucrats:
“Since Feb 1 California has received roughly 18 trillion gallons of water, enough to fill 45% of Lake Tahoe or 27 million Olympic-size swimming pools, the National Weather Service said.
A third of the state (36%) was considered to be in normal conditions and more than half (52%) was considered only abnormally dry as of Thursday.” - LA Times
First, don’t they even look out the window?
Second, why can’t they just say 36% and 52%?
Third, only 45% of Lk Tahoe?

Over two million gallons of water fell on my yard since September. Good thing it didn't all fall at once.

I found parking... had to walk a bit... my plan to get on top of Manure Pile was thwarted by snow and ice on the 3rd class scramble from the gully (went up to the notch and didn't find a passable way).
So I joined the crowds and shot the Fire Fall...
There was a bit of snow in the Valley

We were in Stanley one January and it was 28 below... Nice and sunny, though.
