California’s Snow Is Turning to Rain

Drought-weary California is getting soaked this week. Most of the state is already having a wetter-than-normal rainy season, it’s been raining and snowing for the past couple of days, and on Saturday and Sunday an “atmospheric river” of precipitation is expected to arrive. That sounds like great news — California needs water, right? What it needs even more is snow, though, and that’s where this weekend may disappoint.
