Meteorologist Daniel Swain of UCLA said it was "entirely stunning to see ... precipitation almost zero in Northern California for about fourteen days, heading into mid-December." 

"Sadly there is still no sign of any significant precipitation on the horison for California and, undoubtedly, a large part of the American West," he added.
