This winter, the state, which had been stuck in a prolonged
drought, was positively walloped by Pacific storms, bringing more than 50 feet
of snow to some ski spots in the Sierra Nevada and even a flurry or two to San
Francisco.

And so it is that on Wednesday, Gov. Jerry Brown is expected to lift a 2009
emergency drought proclamation issued by his predecessor, Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger, symbolically ending the state’s worst dry spell since the late
1980s and early ’90s.
