Very possible.
And we are building on another year of reservoirs above their historical average:

Geez
I was thinking a week ago it would be a drought summer with no snowpack having accumulated.
Are you suggesting we are out of that zone???
The entire state of California is officially out of drought this year.
As you can see, most of the other western states are still in drought conditions but CA is nice and moist!
Wow. This is hard to believe. It has not rained or snowed much from my vantage/experience.
Only two weeks of precipitation
It rained a lot in December, then a dry January, now it's raining again in February.
Yeah, I didn't think December was all that much and I don't think this last week has been all that much.
I think what matters is the water content of the Sierra snowpack. A week or two of heavy snow can make a tremendous difference
That is a huge piece, but also you can see that the reservoirs across the state are full, and I believe they are also measuring groundwater to see that it's at a good level. Basically, the whole state has gotten enough moisture to meet these metrics.
Whether or not anyone "feels" like we've gotten enough rain, the proof is in the pudding.
