the weather service says the cold spell could last until january 15th. and today we got our first real look at the sierra snow pack. it's important because many water agencies, they rely on the snow melt to fill our reservoirs. state water officials held the first survey of the year at the phillips station near south lake tahoe. there they go. gives us a snapshot of how much we might expect to fill our reservoirs when it melts. they took six samples and combined the numbers with 260 other sites around the state. and right now we are at 108%. but of course, still early in the season. as of right now, feeling okay. but if we don't get more storms, we'll need a progression of monthly storms to keep going because otherwise we will end up maybe similar under average by the end of the year. and because of those december storms and rainfall the past two years, we're in good shape in the south bay. valley water says reservoirs are at 91% of average. about half of the water we use in the south bay comes from outside the county. so snowpack is essential to our sup
