San Francisco AP reports three storms have brought rain and snow to drought hit California, yet officials warn the two year drought may not be over. Forecaster Ray Williams says precipitation is normal so far this year but reserves remain critically low and rationing continues. Shasta Folsom and Oroville dams hold far less than capacity while Bay Area utilities lack enough water to declare an end. Snow at 6000 feet ranges around 60 inches versus 30 inches normally, signaling partial relief but ongoing risk.
