After a couple weeks of on-and-off heavy rain and snow in Northern California, things are finally starting to dry out and clear up as total water accumulation amounts are being thrust into the spotlight. Water officials have declared that a portion of California is out of the drought with above average rainfall and feet of snow piling up in the Sierra. Sacramento received above average rainfall in October, with 4.41 inches when the average is just over an inch. However, November was more than an inch below the average rainfall of 2.43 inches.
