fish habitat for bass and blue gill. over a year ago land mendocino held plenty of water, but in a routine move the army corps of engineers followed what many say is an antiquated manual dating back

engineers' response so far, they'll look into it. >> whatever happened to raising the height of the dam? >> that was part of the original design. it called for another 32 feet on top of the dam back in the '80s. they were going to do that, never done because of money. the army corps said the original dam cost $8 million to build 60 years ago. a phase two addition now would cost $250 million, couldn't do it. >> thank you. check out mount diablo. that is snow. you can barely see it, but it got a light dusting yesterday all the way down to 2,000 feet. i saw it from my house. i tweeted you a photo of it. >> yes. >> we were both like dancing out in the yard after that. >> the rain is here. >> great news. it was cold, wet. some spots got 1/2 to 3/4-inch of rainfall and that's just the

san francisco 43 degrees. how much did the rain over the weekend help? we got a little more than 1/4- inch of rainfall in san francisco. that shaved 2.4% off our rainfall deficit. so it's good news, but it didn't do a terribly big change in our drought, in our deficit. we need more. guess what? the pattern is set up so we can get more rainfall because the high pressure dome moved 700 miles to our south and west. it's right over top of us providing that wall where not one single storm for four straight months could make it here, the ridge is still here, but it's moved and now the storms will
