Approximately 15 centimetres of snow has accumulated, and water content has more than doubled since the North Bay-Mattawa Conservation Authority completed its last snow survey in mid-December.
Water Resources Specialist Joel Harrison says while snow depths continue to be above the long-term average for this time of year at the three sites they measure, the water content is close to average.
Below is the breakdown for the North Bay Area:
North Bay Golf and Country Club (Chippewa Creek Watershed, North Bay)
              Â

| Average Snow Depth for January 3, 3016 | Â 18.9 cm |
