The first snow pack numbers have been released after a survey in Sierra Nevada Wednesday morning.

The numbers point to a below-average collection and dry conditions.

Measurements from the survey found a snow-water equivalent of 0.4 inches, which is just 3%of the average for January.

Officials say California is only a third of the way through its three wettest months, and it's too early to know what kind of a season we will have. 

Statewide, the snow pack's water equivalent is 2.6 inches. That's about 24% of the average. 

While officials say the findings are a disappointment, there is plenty of time left to turn it around. Manual snow surveys will be conducted at hundreds of California locations throughout the season.
