Precip perks up

Well, this graphic is pretty self-explanatory. If you've been watching what we've been posting, you can quickly note the quantum leap in precip in this graphic. It's huge--almost Reichter Scale!
Wow--are the Rain and Snow Gods being "nice" to California or what?

It's been a long time since we've seen California in the "red zone" of a precip event. Ignore the five inch area for a moment and look inland in the Northern Sierra and you're seeing 4.0-4.6 inches of precip. If the dynamics are correct that could translate to 3-4 feet of SNOW! That's HUGE!
