I found these two images comparing snow depth levels.
this is really disturbing. I hope we start catching up on snow but it's getting later in the season.

Buck, you ought to ship some Alaskan precipitation down to California. God knows we could use it.

It's coming your way, Bob. Looks like it's a gift from the Marshall Islands or Samoa, not Alaska.
The pineapple express storms from the western Pacific cause rain to fall in California. If we get a good Alaskan storm, it is cold enough to cause snow to fall in California. Although rain is better than nothing, snow is much more valuable than rain.

I think it's going to be pretty good news precipitation-wise regardless of where it comes from: http://www.weather.com/video/how-much-snow-will-orion-bring-42444?
Raining all day here in northern Humboldt. Not heavy, but fairly steady.
I was camping near Jenner on the coast this weekend and got hammered the entire time. The drive home was actually the worst part with impassable roads/detours due to swollen creeks and localized flooding. I also witnessed some pretty impressive sea cliffs erode before my eyes.
