How much more rain does California need before it's out of drought trouble?

This question brought to you by a concerned Californian!

The drought in California has 1 measure and it is  snowpack. For California to get out of drought the state needs a snowpack over 40 inches(across the whole mountain range) and maintain it from the months of November to March.
2013 snowpack averaged 25 inches, 2014 snowpack average is 8 inches thru February 1st. Snowpacks will fill the reservoirs.
