Despite a La Nina, which normally equals above normal Precip for northern CA and most of the northern and central Sierra, almost nothing seems to have come down in the last month. This recent storm and the last few seem to have missed interior CA entirely. The next one probably will, too.

In the woods you might be able to step in pockets that are above your ankles but most of what is left is consolidated enough to walk on with hiking boots without punching through.
