Image source: Westwide Drought Tracker... https://wrcc.dri.edu/wwdt/ Red X = approximate location of Reno-Sparks. Percentile: 100th percentile (darker green) would mean an area had their wettest precipitation period as compared with past October-December or December periods in the climate record. 0th percentile (dark brown) would be the driest. Therefore, for the October - December period, most areas in eastern CA and western NV received precipitation in the lowest 1/3rd of other October-December periods in the climate record.
