Of course, California earthquakes are exceptional too.

That ship has sailed.  LOL At least our tornados are below average.


But you make up for it with earthquakes...

Like most things in California there is no "normal" Sierra snowpack. LOL

Much better to use the term "average" or "mean". Sierra snow pack is highly variable. The figure usually used is surface water equivalent on April 1, which is about when the snow pack is usually at its max. The standard deviation of this number historically is something around 50% of the mean or higher, so you have about a 1/3 chance of having 150% of "normal"  or 50% of "normal", and about a 5% chance of having either 2x of average or zero snow pack on that date. Check out this set of charts.

Well, with the weather nothing is perfect.  It's either too much or not enough.

Out west one should never complain about precipitation or the rain god will hear it and turn off the spigot, leaving us to dry out as we did a couple years back.
