In the winter of 2022 and early spring of 2023, Arizona got a lot of rain. We had the rainiest January and March in years.

In addition, 2022-23 brought record snowfall for Flagstaff. As the days heat up and that snow melts, the runoff is making its way into the state's reservoirs.

Did all of this rain and snow make a difference, or was it just a drop in the bucket for the state’s 29-year-long drought?

In this week's episode of Valley 101, a podcast by The Arizona Republic and azcentral.com, we talk with weather experts about the state’s rainfall, where that precipitation goes and how it will affect the state's future.
