After receiving 48 hrs of rain last week, the storm train is back in action with the first series to come in right on schedule for the Tahoe area. All reports look positve for significant accumulation at all elevations in the Tahoe area....this is why we live here. Hope you have some sick time stashed away!!
* TOTAL SNOW ACCUMULATIONS: 15 TO 30 INCHES AT LAKE LEVEL BY
WEDNESDAY MORNING MAINLY FALLING TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY
MORNING. 3 TO 4 FEET OF SNOW WILL FALL ABOVE 7000 FEET WITH UP
TO 6 FEET ABOVE 8000 FEET NEAR THE SIERRA CREST.

MONDAY MARCH 2 5:35 AM…..A winter storm warning remains in effect through Wednesday morning as the pattern shifts today from a warm, wet “Hawaiian Hoser,” in the words of one forecaster, to a true winter storm. The subtropical moisture plume that doused California and much of Tahoe Sunday is sagging to the south this morning. It will soon be replaced by a cold front spinning ahead of a low-pressure system sitting off the coast of Washington and Oregon. That front has the potential to dump up to a foot of snow on Tahoe by midnight, with snow levels dropping to 5000 feet or below, and it will be followed by at least two more very strong waves of precipitation. Tuesday still looks like the peak, snow-wise, with very heavy snow all day. Snow should continue into Wednesday, tapering to snow showers during the day. Total accumulations by Wednesday night should be at least three to four feet at the highest elevations. Thursday looks dry, and the outlook for the weekend is uncertain. One forecast model has more storms coming our way through the weekend. A competing model has a low pressure system drifting far off the coast and not approaching land until at least Sunday. But for now, brace yourself. The next couple of days should be fun.
