also had strong el ninos which did not bring heavy rain to california. we had below normal rainfall. >> unless we get a really strong el nino, it's not entirely clear what that means for precipitation in california. >> reporter: and that brings us to the final myth. a wet winter would end the drought. >> our current precipitation deficits are so large, it would probably take a couple of consecutive
