I've only lived here in OC for 2 years and I keep learning new things about california. For example now I know that "storm" means there is going to be a medium rainfall for a couple hours throughout 2 days. It was almost as disappointing as disneyland.

If we don't get some serious rainfall that lasts more than a day here, a day there, I'm going to be demanding some meteorologist heads on sticks!

Northern California got tons of rain and snow and that is far more important.

This. And February/March tend to be the rainier months during an El Nino so the jury is still out.

Yes, they said the last El Nino storm in 98 (?) came in Feb & March, so we still have time left for a big show. El Nino is brewing in the ocean...

You've been here only for two atypical years as far as weather goes, so I wouldn't jump to too many conclusions about that. But, take it from me as one who's been here almost five decades, Disneyland is definitely not what it used to be.

Yes, we have been getting a lot of rain here. It is getting old. I miss sunny days.

You mean you've been getting a lot of cold overcast drizzle. I'd hate that too if I went days on end without seeing the sun. I love rain but in the form of a big storm followed by a long string of warm sunny days. We are going to get a big storm this afternoon (hopefully with some thunder and lightning!) and then the entire work week is forecast to be sunny with highs in 60s and 70s. Last July, we got a big storm that dumped 2 inches of rain within 2 days and the rest of the month had truly wonderful beach weather (highs in the 80s, lows around 70).

I think the rest of the winter will be in the form of a few big storms of Southern California (2 or 3 days a month) and lots of nice weather in between. I also think we will get an occasional episode of warm rain in summer. The cold overcast drizzlefests are why I couldn't live in the Northern half of the state.
