Exactly. It’s the ‘dead in 1 second’ vs ‘dead in 2 seconds’ problem. Still not out of the drought. At new years, they said we needed 19 more storms like that one to replenish the snowpack and reservoirs properly. Nature took it as a high priority todo and has been grinding.

Hmmm yeah. But in the US (at least my area) it does actually meaning suddenly begin sobbing. Not just a tear or two like it apparently can be used in AUS.

Most of that water is sitting puddled in my backyard and on the back-upped storm drain on my street.

Niche but the 1662 Book of Common Prayer has prayers for ending a time of drought including words something like "send such moderate rain and showers" to just be clear that we don't want something too heavy.

Why do you feel the need to take perfectly good drinking water and throw it on the ground just so your car has shiny paint?

Heavy rain doesn’t really solve drought, it needs to be over long periods of time otherwise the water can’t be absorbed into the soil

That would be for the best. Unfortunately climate change causes weather to be more extreme. In both directions.

I mean it makes sense. We'd probably need yearly rainstorms like what we're seeing now to really make an impact, right?

Rockies are receiving more than 8+ ft of snow on their summits and a good amount of the moisture from this atmospheric river event made it past the Rockies.
