California's first snow survey of 2025 shows nears average snowpack, but more is needed ...Middle East

News by : (CBS sacramento) -

In the first snow survey of the year at the Phillips Station, the California Department of Water Resources said the area currently sits at 91 percent of its average. The survey revealed a snow depth of 24 inches and nine inches of snow water.

A year ago, the DWR said the state was at 28 percent. 

Despite the near-average numbers, officials are saying more snow is needed throughout the winter. 

Back in 2022, Janurary's snowpack was well above average but the state dried out for the rest of the winter, erasing those early totals. 

California's largest reservoir, Shasta Lake, is 130 percent above the historical average while the state's second-largest reservoir, Lake Oroville, is 126 percent above the historical average. 

The DWR conducts monthly snow surveys at the Phillips Station from January through April, sometimes in May. The next survey is scheduled for Feb. 3.
