The current chart shows an exceedingly rainy Oct/November, and reservoirs that have remained relatively full from the previous abundant rain year. In fact only two previous years since 2007 exceeded this early high storage level.
vt, your chart compares current storage to an entire historical storage year. Of course the reservoirs are not full now. The rain year just started. We are just coming off the very end of the the previous seasons dry period. When levels are always low. But the levels in the chart you posted are actually incredibly high . . . for the date.
