I have to agree with your reading of the charts...   but mumble..  of the 
last 25 years of weather here in Redding  [Redding weather goes in 30-40 
year 
phases, for one phase 10" of rain,  another 30" and another with 60" - 
where 
the current mode is 40"/yr]...  the precip this year has us as being the 
2nd 
wettest year at this time of  the winter - 18.8" so far. If this was a 
(current) normal year we should  be at btwn 10 and 12"...  it'll be 
interesting to see how the rest of  the winter plays out - maybe we'll have 
a 
3 month dry spell and end up  with a subnormal year..  as the expression: 
we 
shall see in the  fullness of time.  ;-)
