I guess you missed the fact it is an el Nino year. What usually happens during an el Nino year? That. It has been pointed out that a sharp uptick in precipitation is very likely for California. Not enough to end the drought, but enough to ease conditions. Watch for the mud slides.

It's El Nino; should be a great season. El Nino a Welcome Visitor at Slopes November 28, 1997\|PETE THOMAS As sure as there will be broken bones and melting snow, the mountains of California also will serve up month after month of good, clean, fast-sliding fun for skiers and snowboarders this season. El Nino will make sure of that. Or so resort operators say as they gaze skyward, hoping that this week's storms are paving the way for many more. "Here at Mammoth, we love El Nino," says Pam Murphy, marketing director at Mammoth Mountain and a lifelong resident of the area. "El Nino has been very good for us." History proves her right.

Faced with one last push over mountains that were described as much worse than the Wasatch, the ragtag company had to decide whether to forge ahead or rest their cattle. It was October 20... Snow began to fall. The Breens made it up the "massive, nearly vertical slope" 1,000 feet (300 m) to Truckee Lake, 3 miles (4.8 km) from the summit...On the evening of November 4, it began to snow again. It was the beginning of a storm that would last 8 days. en.wikipedia.org
