Amador County - Erratic and rainy weather patterns darkened the skies over Amador County, but the end-of-winter gales were not enough to bring rainfall back to normal levels. In the upcountry, residents reported a variety of weather patterns, from heavy snowfall to hail. Local measurements indicate that rainfall in Amador County is now approximately 82 percent of normal. Rainfall in the Sacramento region as a whole is now 76 percent of normal, according to climatology reports by the National Weather Service. About a tenth of an inch of rain fell in downtown Sacramento on Sunday, while other areas reported four-hundredths of an inch. Sunny skies and warmer temperatures will continue this week. The good news is that there was a significant amount of snowfall in the Sierras, which makes up the majority of year round water supplies in our reservoirs. From 1 1/2 to 2 feet of snow fell at Sugar Bowl Ski Resort and in the Soda Springs area. The same levels were predicted at Kirkwood Ski Report.
