"We had a really wet November,"
"We were above normal early on. Now it's possible we could go 0-for-December. It's been feast or famine."
"Some years you get an early winter and good momentum going into the holidays,"

An atmospheric river delivered heavy rain to Washington and Oregon but bypassed California, leaving the state dry after mid-November storms. The Bay Area logged 18 consecutive rain-free days through Monday, with forecasts showing about 16 more dry days through at least Christmas Eve, potentially producing a 34-day dry stretch starting in November or December. Historical comparisons place such a stretch among the longest since 1849. The Sierra Nevada snowpack is at 25% of average statewide and 7% in the Northern Sierra. Some ski areas opened with man-made snow while others remain closed, and drought conditions remain uncertain at this early stage.
