I'll believe the drought is over when it rains again like this for at least 4 years. Growing up there in the 80's-90's water conservation and drought awareness were drilled into us in grade school. It seems to me kind of reckless to say the drought is over, it's only been one year of decent snow cap in the last 15, and the reservoirs and water lines are in piss poor shape still(some water lines in CA are over 100 years old and still made of wood). Other than San Diego, water and drought will be an issue again real soon.

That's not how droughts end. Nice pic though.

The flowers in your picture are actually an invasive weed that is not native to California. Here is some more information: http://www.cal-ipc.org/ip/management/plant_profiles/Zantedeschia_aethiopica.php
