against the recall? she has some people in oakland that are very much in support saying people voted her in because they wanted her to be different and to bring in a different type of governing. what are they saying in terms of this recall? >> reporter: you know that is exactly right. there is a campaign for supporters of pamela and they say this entire issue in terms of trying to push this recall forward is a threat to democracy. they also have concerns about how the signatures were gathered. they think the signatures were gathered illegally, so they are asking the secretary of state's office to step in and verify the signatures so if in fact there is a recall election that we know that the signatures were actually validated, but they also have concerns saying that millionaires are backing this recall campaign and they believe they are speaking for a

large majority of people that may not feel the same way. they have several concerns going forward. >> we will see your full report coming up tonight at 6:00. the search is on for a person who fatally stabbed a man on the peninsula. watch the surveillance video. officers say whoever is in the white suv may have been involved in that stabbing. it happened around 8:30 near university avenue and fell street, february 8th. police say someone attacked a man named frank finney and then another man. frank finney died this past weekend but the other man is expected to be okay. a new civil rights complaint against berkley alleging the district ignored what is called severe and persistent harassment of jewish students. federal complaints filed by the louis brandeis center for human rights as well as parents.

the weekend. trucks have just started to be let through about two hours ago and maximum chain requirements are still in place. in fact, some areas are still buried under snow up to seven feet and crews have been working to keep those roads clear. >> i thought we were going to get stuck a few times. it kind of felt like we were swimming through the snow almost in the car. >> popular ski resorts are still close. they are trying to dig out buildings and ski lifts. the weekend lizard also caused widespread power outages impacting about 40,000 homes and businesses at its peak. all right, we have all the snow on the ground. it is fall and the big question is how much snow did the sierra get and how did it help with the drought? we want to bring in meteorologists --

>> reporter: there is a lot of snow falling within a short timeframe and totals are pretty impressive. let's get a look at the video we saw over the past two days. wind gusts over 150 miles per hour creating those dangerous blizzard like conditions. even though the blizzard warnings have expired we are still seeing winter storm warnings in effect for some parts of the sierra because we do have an incoming low pressure system. look at this video and it shows a lot of snow. right now this is the live look, jess. it's 20 degrees and that is cold in lake tahoe. let me show you what the 72 hour snowfall handout to be.

20%. now 104. >> that goes to show you what a couple storms will do and we are still not out of the woods yet. we are still having rainstorms coming our way. >> exactly, heading into tonight and tomorrow. >> thank you very much. listen to that. you can hear the wind whipping. near mammoth along the east side of the sierra which is about three hours south of southlake tahoe. the resort said they will receive more than four feet over the weekend. farther north the resort has been closed. -- resorts have been closed.
