A series of storms, including a moisture-packed atmospheric river that slammed the state last week, has brought consistent rainfall in February that has reached nearly half the volume of Lake Tahoe.
Los Angeles has received its fair share of the rain, with more than 4 inches falling on the Southland since Feb. 1. San Diego has had more than 10 inches of rain this month, passing its average for the entire winter season, according to the National Weather Service.
The totals are likely to increase this week - though not by much - as another storm rolls into the region Wednesday night. That low pressure system is expected to bring less than a quarter of an inch of precipitation through Thursday, said Lisa Phillips, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Oxnard.
The first incident was reported on February 8th and involved large numbers of dead starlings found on a road alongside the Dnieper River in Ukraine. Here are some of the images from that event:
"It is phenomenal, there is a lot of snow," said Jack Schlaf, a skier up at Snowbasin Wednesday.
Davy Ratchford, the general manager of Snowbasin, said the resort at one point got 15 inches of snow in 24 hours.
"Everybody takes the day off of work, it's called the powder flu," said Schlaf.
Many were on the mountain to get their fill of the mid-week fresh powder.
"Oh it was fabulous, super deep," said skier Randy Pearson.
Ratchford said Snowbasin has gotten eight feet of snow in 18 days, which is unprecedented.
A Virgin Atlantic plane accidentally flew at the speed of sound during a record-breaking flight from LA to London
A Virgin Atlantic flight from Los Angeles to London reached the ground speed of 1289km/h with the help of strong winds, according to reports.
The blistering speed was reached while at 35,000 feet, or 10.7km, above Pennsylvania. The Boeing 787 twin-jet aircraft was given a boost by a furious jet stream, the high-altitude air current along which storms travel, Fox News reported.
"Never ever seen this kind of tailwind in my life as a commercial pilot," tweeted Peter James, a jet captain.
Monday's record was above the speed of sound which is 1234km/h - however, whether air travel breaks the sound barrier is dependent on its airspeed, not ground speed. Commercial aircraft are not designed to fly at supersonic speeds.
The incident occurred in Ituata district, Carabaya province, on Wednesday.
The landslide hit tents where miners were staying. The body of a 50-year-old woman was found, reports said.
Other people remained missing. The reports quoted Aniceto Vilca Peralta, a civil defence official, as saying a total of seven people were killed.
The landslide followed a week of heavy rains.

Several sightings of Blyth's reed warbler have now been confirmed at a United Utilities nature reserve in Leigh.
Blyth's reed warblers are a very rare sight in Britain and even rarer in the North West.
Birding experts at Leigh Ornithological Society believe the sightings at Hope Carr Nature Reserve are the first in Greater Manchester and the first time the tiny bird has been spotted in the UK at this time of year.
It usually spends the winter in India, Bangladesh or Sri Lanka.

Seasonal forecasts and pegging below seasonal temperatures for much of western Canada over the next three months.
This month, Saskatchewan has been plagued with daily extreme cold warnings. Temperatures have dipped into the minus 40s, with wind chills so frigid that forgetting your tuque can mean frostbite in minutes.
As of Wednesday, Regina had 9 days where the temperature had not warmed up past -20 C. Temperatures overnight have been brisk - in the minus 30s or even minus 40s - but there has not been much recovery in temperatures during the daytime.
Saskatoon has fared even worse, with 10 days with daily highs below -20 C. To put that in perspective, a normal year would have us seeing daily highs in the minus single digits and lows in the minus teens, so these conditions are 10 to 20 degrees below normal in many areas.
