Cali had a really bad drought year last summer, we were doing heavy mandatory water conservation in the greater LA metropolitan area, you could only water your yard on two evenings/mornings a week or face a pretty fine. This winter we were fortunate to have enough rain and snow to replenish all our reservoirs, and the lakes in the mountains are full.
Still too early to start singing, but we should have enough water stocked up now to survive even if we have no rain this winter in the entire state. And the very mild weather we've been having so far this spring and summer is helping keeping those mountain lakes still topped off and full, and August is soon upon us!
(for comparison, my favorite lake I vacation by in Northern Cali, I think had all but one or two boat ramps closed due to the lake being too low (~60% and below) and as a result had some of the worst Labor Day holidays up there for vacationing tourists the last few summers. (technicaly one ramp will likely still be closed, but it's associated campground will have plenty of shore-front campsites until the lake drops down a few feet and its ramp reopens.))
