On Tuesday, the state Department of Water Resources (DWR) conducted its first snow survey of the season at Phillips Station in the Sierra Nevada. A manual survey at the location recorded 24 inches of snow depth and a snow water equivalent of 5 inches or 50% of average.
Following a dry start to the month, officials credited recent storms in building up the snowpack.
Even with the recent precipitation, Fabbiani-Leon noted that storms through the rest of winter and the start of spring are critical. The snowpack provides about 30% of the state's water needs.
Officials said major reservoirs in the state are 123% of average following recent precipitation, along with three consecutive years of above-average snowpack conditions.
The Department of Water Resources is expected to conduct its next snow survey on Feb. 3, 2026.
