Out here in Sonoma County CA we received about  25 inches (normal=33inches) of rain during the 2019 to 2020 rain year. Definitely not an El~Nino-ish winter pattern, however the winter before that was pretty much a double rain, double snow year for the whole state and I think there may have been double El Nino just prior(2014-2016?).  It would be interesting if the winter snow/rain totals in California for 1904~1911 are similar to 2015~2022.  Kind of an interesting pattern nonetheless.
