You have 999 year supply for your house from your private well.
Of course, we'll expect great photographs to originate from your hand no matter what the California snow pack measure is!

Year round. I don't know, but it IS worrisome, to me.
Osmosis? Magic? Voodoo? Just the way it is?
Way too many people living in a desert. Plenty of water in Michigan, go live there.
pumped up from the depths on the property. Palm Springs may have thirsty golf courses, but who gives a rat's ass?
Good thinking ahead, ther LW. Palm Springs is killing the goose that laid the golden egg by pumping the aquifer DRY. The Indians who formerly WINTERED at the hot springs (now the site of a cheesy hotel and Casino) will have NO MORE water at that point. I'm sure the level is dropping rapidly. Imagine, thousands of years of excess waterfall SQUANDERED on GOLF!
Remember: GOLF spelled backwards is FLOG.
My otherwise 3/4 wit brother-in-law converted his Cathedral City LAWN to Cactus and a SouthWest theme. Even though the guy was a certifiable JERK, it was still NICE. 15 minutes after the divorce sale (wife was a gem) the NEW owners 'conformed' and tore it up, planting a Water Wasting yard again. I hope they left the POOL as a Salt Water pool. It was MUCH better than Fresh /Chlorine. It's a hardcore DESERT, for Pete's Sake. On the hottest days (call it 118f) it's like a SciFi movie going out. I tossed an ICE CUBE on a manhole cover and it EVAPORATED (sublimated) leaving not even a wet spot.
And yes, SoCal IS a desert. Almost EVERY SQUARE INCH. Here we average about 10" rain per year. And while we are currently AHEAD of the 'game', it doesn't matter much since storage capacity is very limited. San Vicente was recently 'raised' and now has a capacity of around 250,000 acre/feet with the current level BELOW the old 'full' mark.
Too much is never enough
both were melted and gone on day 2, neither was more than 2 inches. Usually we have snow starting in October and going into April. Lake Shasta may be about 34% full now.....Mount Lassen looks nearly bald...and it gets more snow, normally, than any mountain in the State. Our creek still flows at a full level, I imagine there are springs adding to it and that it is not all snow melt.
still that is pretty low. Here in WA we haven't had much of a winter and snowpack is also low. It won't really affect much besides water rights in the orchard country though.
