Heavier than expected snow is falling this week in the Lake Tahoe area, with some places getting over a foot of "powder". That, of course, is a good thing for ski resorts, who were worried this year's ski season was getting off to a slow start.
Reporter: Billy Cruz, The California Report
It's the story of two California cities and two prisons. One city is Blythe on the border of California and Arizona. It’s home to the Chuckawalla Valley State Prison. Since the lock up first opened in 1988, Chuckwalla has become synonymous with Blythe, with the prison creating hundreds of local jobs and helping to pump lots of dollars into Blythe’s economy. But last year, the state decided to close Chuckawalla. Now, the city of Norco, hundreds of miles away, wants to make a switch, and instead close its prison.
