Colorado and Wyoming got an unusually late dump of snow this week. Meanwhile temperatures in Phoenix have dropped 15 degrees below normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Large swaths of California have seen two to five times more precipitation than is normal for this point in May, the National Weather Service said. A series of storms soaked much of Colusa County where rice grower Kurt Richter was forced to wait weeks to seed his land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou should be seeing green lawns of rice out there right now,\u201d Richter said Tuesday from his farm about 120 miles (195 kilometers) north of San Francisco. \u201cBut it\u2019s just flooded fields, with nothing sticking out of the water.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rice he managed to get into the ground during brief dry spells is in a \u201crefrigerated state\u201d because of colder than usual temperatures that threaten to reduce yields, he said. Richter\u2019s property typically grows about 5,000 acres (2,000 hectares) of rice annually, but he predicted \u201cwe won\u2019t even get close to that this year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a 24-hour period last weekend, parts of Sacramento County in the northern part of the state recorded more than 3.25 inches (8.25 centimeters) of rain. The wet trend will continue through the month, forecasters said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Strawberry grower Peter Navarro said it\u2019s been at least a decade since heavy rains have affected his Santa Cruz County fields like this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe month of May produces some of your best berries,\u201d said Navarro, grower for Well-Pict Berries in Watsonville. But he told the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.santacruzsentinel.com\/2019\/05\/20\/strawberry-growers-lose-thousands-of-berries-to-recent-rains\/\">Santa Cruz Sentinel<\/a>&nbsp;that ongoing wet weather was disrupting the picking schedule and causing a loss of production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Too much rain can damage strawberries\u2019 delicate skin, causing the fruit to decay before being picked. Berries that start to rot on the vine can affect green fruit and bring disease to the plant, Navarro said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To the south in wine country, May showers and accompanying winds have damaged some vines and brought unwelcome moisture that could delay blooming. On top of that growers worry lingering humid conditions will cause mold and mildew on vines that could take an even greater toll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The result could be a smaller yield for certain varieties including chardonnay and pinot noir grapes, vintners said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not ideal,\u201d Alison Crowe, director of winemaking at Plata Wine Partners in Napa, told the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pressdemocrat.com\/business\/9610980-181\/rain-and-windy-weather-causing\">Santa Rosa Press-Democrat<\/a>&nbsp;. \u201cIt\u2019s not necessarily impacted quality.
