California Not Drought Free

Great snow packs in the mountains (182% above normal), and a lot of California reservoirs are flush with water (Shasta 82% of capacity), but not all counties are "singing in the rain." Lake Cachuma, which supplies Santa Barbara County with its water needs is only at 14% of capacity.
