only a small portion showing white compared to today's map on the right is last year where you can see the entire state was still in severe to extreme drought condition abc 7 news reporter suzanne fox news live in the newsroom right now with a look at what this exactly means for the bay area suzanne. we've gotten so much rain and snow this season, that's great for the golden state but local and state water experts say we still have a long way to go to builder seriously depleted water supply it's outstanding to see in you know, those the historical snowpack that we have up there so much new snow has blanketed this sierra and so much rain has drenched much of her state that's bound to be good news for water supply and a reservoirs. here's a look at the lexington

reservoir today. it's one of the largest in santa clara county you go out to lexington reservoir huge difference from what you saw in september to what you're seeing. now, i mean is beautiful to see that water just rise up there on the banks. the federal drought monitor says the drought is over now in more than half of california that also includes the bay area take a closer. look at california's drought picture this week compare that to the one six months ago the colors on the map show drought intensity ranging from abnormally drying yellow to exceptional drought and dark red signs of exceptional and extreme

drought are gone clearly. we've had a wet winter we ask the california department of water resources what they think about the federal drop monitors assessment. we're at more in 130% of average statewide precipitation right now and certainly some areas are recovering rapidly from drought in terms of things like reservoir storage. it takes longer to recharge groundwater basins and some of our groundwater basins have been severely depleted over multiple years of drought for more than a decade. so that's where we have a disconnect between water supply availability and just this one year's hydrology.

dwr focuses on water supply. the agency says california has made major progress so far this season, but there's a long way to go huge improvement over the past two years, and we need to see how some areas catch up particularly in terms of groundwater capability valley water and santa clara county says, they're making sure they have infrastructure to store water and to put it to use and they're looking at other water supply projects. we can't rely on mother nature mother nature with class special report. now reporting david muir good evening. we're coming back on the air because the jury has reached a verdict in the high-profile alec burdock birdard trial in south carolina the jury moments ago finding murdoch guilty the case gaining a tent national attention, of course the ones prominent attorney charged with a murders of his wife and son in 2021 again, the jury finding him guilty bodies of banking paul murdock found near the dog kennels on their family estate. you'll remember prosecutors accusing him trying to use those murders to deflect authorities away from his financial crimes. they showed video of burdock at the scene with his wife and son not long before they were murdered here is the verdict just moments ago. okay guilty verdict. signed by the four lady three two, twenty three versus richard alexander murdock defendant indictment for murder sc code. 16-3-0010 cdr code 0116 verdict guilty signed by the four lady date 3 2 of 23 2022-gs 15-00595 the state of

that video existed then we saw that dramatic moment where alex murdock himself took the stand and admitted it was indeed him in that video. he said that while he was there for that video. he wasn't there at the time of the murders, but that clearly putting questions into place about his timeline and if he was there when the murders happened david pilgrim as we look at this screen right here alex murdoch found guilty count one murdering his wife count to the murdering. sudden paul account three guilty position of a weapon and count for also possession of a weapon and as eva pilgrim rightly points out. perhaps the most -- piece of evidence in this case was the video of alec murdoch himself at the scene of that murder just moments before you could actually hear his family members in the video as well and authorities saying why would you lie about not being at the scene when in fact you were the video then revealing that are things to even pilgrim who's been covering this for many weeks six weeks this trial. and again just a couple of hours

update from the abc 7 news i-team police chiefs and mayors across the state are criticizing a new law limiting their ability to crack down on human trafficking operations. and i also what happened there in oakland in front of the school these young women likes are being ruined. and as a public safety in a public servant we have to do something because this just is not right.

new effort to repeal the law is underway after a civil rights organization. saw our story on abc 7 exposing the problem in east oakland. i team reporter stephanie sierra has the latest the abc 7 news i-team revealed trafficking operations and alleged sex workers appear to be soliciting outside a grade school in east oakland one month ago now a group of mayors and police chiefs faced in southern california are joining an effort to repeal a law. they say makes it harder to crack down on these crimes democrats and republicans have reached out across the state because they want to support the efforts to repeal this law. we are very concerned that children's lives are at the stake and specifically i have noted 60% of victims of human trafficking our foster youth shane harris is the president of a california based civil rights organization. he sent this letter to governor gavin newsom urging for the repeal of senate bill 357 a law that went into effect in january, which prohibits police from citing people suspected of

soliciting sex purely based on appearance state senator scott weiner representing samford cisco authored the legislation. i have spoken with the governor. quickly the governor shared with me that he is very concerned about this now and and especially since the operation down here in san diego san diego district attorney. summer. stefan says a recent sting operation in the city that led to 48 arrests highlighted the need for the law to change. do you know that the traffickers? and the buyers were boasting on social media. that because of the decriminalization new law that they can just openly sell human beings for sex on our streets. i'm sure people say a lot of things whatever jokes they were telling whatever they were saying, they just got arrested without that repealed loitering law on the books. senator wiener introduced sv 357

after he found the prior law to be disproportionately targeting transgender women who may not have been sex workers, but the letter criticizes that goal saying it was missed and has caused great confusion to the efforts of addressing human trafficking we need to repeal it oakland city councilman noel gallo is joining the mayors of three southern california cities and five police chiefs that water repeal the law including national city police chief jose tejas and san diego police chief david nizlite. my biggest concern is coming true is we're seeing young women being trafficked against their will a lot of them being juvenile just now we're having traffickers who are emboldened by this law. i think the common layperson believes that prostitution is now legal these police chiefs say the new law is making it more challenging to crack down on trafficking operations both pointed out before the law passed a recent two months sting operation that involved local state. will law enforcement could have

been accomplished faster with fewer resources before the bill actually took place. this could be accomplished by one officer. that could actually see that there was solicitation for prostitution taking place attorney general. rob botta also expressed concern about the law's implications. we all hope people accountable now the i'm not in the legislature the legislature will have to determine what they want to make of any unintended consequences senator wiener stands by the law and has no plans to amend it. he says any attempt to repeal it will be met with credible opposition as the legislation is backed by cast one of the state's largest anti-trafficking non-profits. why would we have a criminal law allowing a police officer to arrest you basically exclusively on how you look not on what you do that's wrong. we shouldn't have that kind of law on the books and the police have plenty of tools to deal with traffic and they should be doing more work to address human trafficking and less complaining the police chiefs in mayors will be going to sacramento in a

couple weeks to advocate repealing this law. we will cover that meeting and let you know what happens. for the i-team stephanie sierra abc 7 news on the peninsula tolling begins tomorrow on the san mateo 101 express lanes sky 7 flew over the nearly 16 miles stretch of 101 which runs in both directions from whipple avenue in redwood city to interstate 380. now solo drivers can pay full price to use the express lanes during the hours of 5 am to 8 pm monday through friday. it is free for carpools with three or more people. let's get to the weather now and we're just kind of cycle a few days of rain a few days of sunshine few days rain a little more sunshine. gunshot has never landing on the weekend though. i noticed that's the problem sandia patel. oh blame. i look at my house. otherwise, i'd go straight to you. the weekend's not a washout, but we will get more rain and snow

us, but obviously we still all need to do our part to conserve because we know it can be very difficult to pinpoint whether we'll continue on this trend or not. at least we know at least through mid-march. we're going to continue with the wet weather, but even beyond that sometimes, you know, we can go to dry all of a sudden from our sfo camera high clouds filtering the sunshine right now mild. mostly sunny tomorrow wet windy weekend slight chance of thunder and an unsettled pattern continues into next week tonight. we're going to see more cloudiness and that's going to help to hold the temperatures up. so not quite as cold as it was this morning tomorrow afternoon. the high clouds will filter the sunshine once again, so your morning temperatures will primarily be in the 30s and 40s. the coldest spots will be very isolated around parts of the north bay lakeport to santa rosa ukiah area tomorrow afternoon low 50s to low 60s. you'll see plenty of sun out there. it's going to be a little breezy near the coast, but that's about it. now. we're going to fast forward to the weekend rain moves in saturday sierra starts getting that snow it turns over to a

rain snow mix here locally on sunday, but only for our higher peaks, and we're not expecting a lot of snow over the higher. locally as we head into monday that wintry mix continues and really even into parts of tuesday now rainfall amounts from saturday through tuesday. most of you will be in that half an inch to inch category. there will be some spots that will pick up a little bit more in the sierra. it's a winter storm warning heavy snow expected one to five feet above 3,000 feet 4 to 18 inches down to 2,000 so saturday morning to monday morning do not try to travel the accuweather 7-day forecast. it's a dry mild afternoon level one saturday through tuesday. wednesday a short break and more rain coming in on thursday. so how about that? julian larry? no comments. we're ready for this pattern to get out of here. i don't throw looking for that stretch of sunshine. okay you have here today and

we're back down with a sad update a popular bay area radio dj missing for weeks is now presumed dead. jeffrey vandergriff's wife releasing a statement last night through wild 94 nines instagram page. she wrote that her family has discovered information quote leading us to believe jv will not be coming back jv of course is nickname in the past vandergrift had openly talked about having severe lyme disease which often gave him brain fog joining us now for more on the subject is abc 7 news contributor dr. raulok patel dr. thanks for your time this afternoon hearing about jv is really increased the visibility. with regard to mental health issues, and we know as julian mentioned he talked about brain fog in connection with lyme disease, which can be really nasty it can cause fatigue depression anxiety rage back east. it's more prevalent because of deers and ticks. we don't see it as much here, but how common are these symptoms? hillary this is extremely devastating especially if we consider the fact the cdc

estimates about half a million americans get lyme disease every single year and you're right. the majority of it is in the northeast, but even here we do have cases. so the early symptoms of lyme disease there. is that kind of telltale rash that almost looks like a bullseye not everyone gets this but then other people can get things like fever headaches fatigue and then you have later symptoms that can happen if you don't get treated i'm talking weeks to months after contracting lyme disease that can include more severe cold than flu symptoms a stiff neck some nerve pain nerve issues heart disease and worse, including those neuropsychiatric or mental health symptoms. so, how do you treat those mental health symptoms. is it similar to other treatments or is lyme disease kind of a category onto itself? you know, it's simply put when we talk about that post treatment lyme disease. so this is lyme disease that is presumably untreated and then symptoms kind of linger on for months if not years after there doesn't seem to be a consensus for how to treat that specific condition. it's based on the individual, you know, someone may be able to see a primary care doctor or a

psychiatric specialist. but larry the most important thing people can do is number one prevent getting lyme disease in the first place and if you do suspect that you may have lyme disease seeing a healthcare professional because the majority of lyme disease cases can be cured with a simple course of antibiotics interesting. so i'm assuming that this is related to in most cases ticks that people either don't realize or realize too late. so is it important to catch this early? it absolutely is important to catch this early. so like an example of what you're seeing on the screen right now those black legged ticks. there's a different type on the west coast and east coast are the main culprit that transmit lyme disease and you know, this is gonna be something that people can run into potentially if you're out in the wilderness tall shrubs of glass what these little suckers do is they

basically hang out on grass looking for their next meal. they may jump on an animal or a human and if they bite you they could potentially transmit lyme disease and so what people want to really make sure they do is not only know where you're going if there's the risk of lyme disease there, but take a look at your clothing when you're done the clothing of your your friends your family your pets. make sure you remove any takes you may see quickly with tweezers and you can also do things that are preventative such as wearing clothing that covers your entire body and using certain repellents that our environmentally safe that can repel takes but again prompt diagnosis and antibiotic treatment is crucial for

preventing long term symptoms one of the question for you senator diane feinstein confirm today. she's being treated for shing. how serious is i alex! mateo, hey how's business? great. you know that loan has really worked wonders. that's what u.s. bank is for. and you're growing in california? -yup, socal, norcal... -monterey? -all day. -a branch in ventura? that's for sure-ah. atms in fresno?

and you know, what stores give those out businesses would be required to only print a receipt of customer asks for one to demonstrate. how wasteful they are seeing how to staff or dress up as a life-sized receipt. i'm sure what he signed up for the job. he knew that this was coming back. i paid enough. order to the nonprofit green america receipts use of three million trees and 10 billion gallons of water each year. obviously in california we're facing a drought. so i can't imagine that we'd rather have receipts over drinking water recedes over water for our crops water for agricultural industry. it's really a matter of prioritization. assemblyman ting says the band would remove tons of paper from landfills. and i think it's time. i mean, you know, we could get everything sent to us digital coupons or whatever on your phone. so the receipts that you get from, you know, like cvs or whatever. it's like three feet lamin names over going and going and going

and going sandy. we don't need that. no, we don't need that. i mean we need to definitely conserve our resources larry and yeah, you know you go to the supermarket i charge almost every time and the receipt is super long. i have three kids. okay, but i really don't need to waste all that karina. how about you i'm signed up for email receipts for every store that offers them and i actually love it because if i need to go back look at a receipt. when did i buy this? what was the product? it's all in my email. yeah, so i like it. yeah, you can actually keep track of it that way listen in the long paper receipts and junk mail, and i think you have a great presidential ticket right there. good start. okay, talk about tipping. meanwhile as about receipts. how much do you usually leave when you go out to eat according to a report published by the san francisco? standard our media partners people in the city are not very generous apparently leaving among the lowest tips in the country toast to digital platform for the restaurant industry. they did the survey it found

diners in san francisco. leave 17% on average which is sounding kind of low. what do you think karina? yeah, and i got through college by working at a restaurant several restaurants as a waitress. and i always thought you should typically 20% and if you want to go above and beyond that's great and sometimes people deserve 25-30 percent because they if you have kids and they're cleaning up a lot more, you know, sometimes people deserve more but i think the basic should be 20% but i've heard people say they've been tipping less because there's that extra surcharge on your restaurant receipt. i don't know if you looked at that so people are saying well, it's costing me more should i just tip less and i think that's why some people say they're tipping a little bit less than 20% and i'm also wondering if part of it is i mean karina you made some great points, but i'm wondering if because of the pandemic and because of the resources like not as many people working and so then the

services not always terrific. does it have something to do with inflation? i mean those things possibly factoring in yeah well in san francisco people need to pay the rent too. so there's that, you know, they may not have as much dis. income the president first lady went out to eat. they ordered the same dish and some people are very upset about this. they got two bowls of rigatoni at a dc restaurant called red hen washingtonian magazine wrote about it. sparking a debate over the biden's food choices really critics say it's boring. yeah arguing the whole point of going out to eat is to try different things makes it up you get one thing i get the other thing we both try and now we know how more things taste right. but maybe they're not that couple. maybe they're like you eat your dish. i'll eat my dish because i'm gonna finish the whole thing, and i don't need you taking bites of it, but i agree i do love when my significant other gets that other thing i wanted and i get both julie keep my menu out of your mouth. okay order, would you order like
