I haven't been tracking rainfall amounts at other locations, but at two home weather stations near me (about 8 mi SE of Stanford, between El Camino Hospital and Loyola Corners), the rain fall totals for December and January(so far) are 9.68+7.10=16.78"  and 9.63+8.00=17.10", about 3x average for that interval.  Average yearly rainfall is about 18.1".    Even if the rain stopped today, the lake levels will continue to rise as the water drains into them.

A WeatherUnderground station on Stanford campus indicates the rain there has been 5.73(Dec)+4.09(Jan) = 9.82.  Another one more in downtown Palo Alto shows 10.0+4.23 = 14.23

Using data from weather.gov for "San Jose Area", here are the seasonal year totals for the San Jose Area, 1894-2022. (2021-2022 is labelled 2022)


The only caution I see is that this weather has all been relatively warm, so more precipitation is in the form of rain, with less as snow.

says statewide snowpack to date is 211% of normal and 102% of the April 1 average

https://cdec.water.ca.gov/snowapp/sweq.action

which is a good start on the snow year

Palisades at Tahoe says they have gotten 300 inches of snow at mid-mountain so far this season

and for the coming weekend forecast

In total that would be 2-4 feet of new snow over the holiday weekend period. Great for continuing to bring fresh snow, but difficult for weekend travel and stormy skiing conditions expected up on the mountain for most of the weekend.
