I think this is going to be a really wet winter. Next two weeks promise lots of statewide precipitation. The larger (500k AF+) California lakes and reservoirs have plenty of capacity. Shasta, Oroville, San Luis and Folsom are about 1/3rd full; Pine Flat, McClure, New Melones and Trinity are 1/4th full; Don Pedro, Berryessa and Almanor are about half full. Some of the others have lesser capacity; Diamond Valley, New Bullards and Friant are around 2/3rds full. Isabella's only 9% full.

Oroville is at 47%, Folsom and Shasta's increased to 42%, San Luis is up to 39%.
Pine Flat is at 36%, McClure is at 42%, New Melones is at 33%. Trinity still at 26%.
Don Pedro (67%), Berryessa (57%) and Almanor (60%) are filling up.
