12/25/25 9:35am Update:
Good morning and Merry Christmas! It's a snowy one for us. We received 23.6" (60 cm) of #snow in the last day, which brings our 2-day total to 24.8" (63 cm).
We're expecting another 2-3 feet, mostly today but a little tomorrow as well.

Negotiators for seven states are under pressure to reach an agreement outlining how they plan to share the Colorado Riverโs dwindling water. @GotitaJB says bridging disagreements would require "tough decisions and compromises." https://t.co/yrsMYZspjQ @latimes
Just because the Philips snow survey is over, doesnโt mean we are done gathering data. We are happy to report an update to our data showing Californiaโs Statewide snowpack at 100% as of today! Check out CDEC for more: https://t.co/Y2PD5salX7
We had 5.5" (14 cm) of light, fluffy #snow in the last day, which brings our 2-day total to 32.5" (82.5 cm). We're expecting another 7-14" over the next 24 hrs.
This storm has been particularly beneficial in central and southern regions where snowpack is lowest.

New: California's snowpack measures 108% of average in the state's first snow survey of the season.
Most of the cold December storms hit up north. (Some cities in SoCal have seen almost no precipitation the past six months) https://t.co/YWmnpcUh0j
Not to be dramatic, but the first snow survey of the season is coming January 2nd at 11am! Tune in to our X or Facebook page for a livestream! Results will be read at 11:30am.

Finally went on a tundra swan tour in NorCalโs rice country where farmers leave water in their fields for a cacophony of birds migrating on the #PacificFlyway. Even spotted a couple of burrowing owls on a levee. ๐ #cawater
@WadeCrowfoot We at @WaterEdFdn are planning to host a 3-day tour of the Klamath River Basin next year. Should be super interesting to see how everything plays out. ๐
