Is the California drought over?

Haven't heard much about it recently and notice they have been getting hammered with rain over the past couple of months. Is the drought officially over?

News won't report it as over because it damages the global warming agenda

Well, for as bad as the entire country was making it out to be, I really don't know how much rain would remove them from being in a drought/filling reservoirs

No, it's not. The Sierra Snow Pack still needs to recover as do the various reservoirs across the foothills. The ground around here is soaking up everything it can get to recharge the aquifers. As a result the rivers have not flooded like we might expect with these levels of rain.

How far does California still have to go?
Anderson researched years when other major droughts were widely considered to have ended: 1938, 1978 and 1993. In each case, the Sierra snowpack — the source of one-third of California’s water supply — was roughly 150 percent of the historic average. And precipitation levels at eight key weather stations in Northern California, located in watersheds that feed Shasta, Oroville, Folsom and other massive reservoirs, also was between 130 percent and 150 percent of normal.
His conclusion: If California receives 150 percent snowpack by this April and 150 percent of normal precipitation in the north, that should be enough to fill the biggest reservoirs and probably end the drought.
Last Friday, the Sierra Nevada snowpack was at 107 percent of the historic average, and the eight-station index was at 94 percent.

In short, no. Article is from 1/17/16.

Well, reporting it as over would be highly inaccurate so...

Keep putting more people in the desert and it will always be a "drought".
It will never be "over".
It will never be "over".

To clarify, when I say "California", I'm not talking about the topography, scenery, etc. It's a beautiful state. I'm talking about the people. (No, not all of you. Plenty of good folks out there. But FFS, the state is full of idiots...and don't get me started on the politics.)

I have been. The people sucked...food was mediocre at best. Weather was nice and the scenery was nice. Its full of liberal hippies...state was near bankrupt a few years ago. Have droughts, earthquakes, wild fires, and energy shortages. People who complain about BR traffic really need to go to cali.
Oh and don't think for one second that since its california it isn't full of redneck white trash.
I just think it is over rated. And the Pacific is cold as frick.

No. With all that flooding over the past few months, I doubt it.
