The Snow is on the way California. Here’s the 8 day forecast for snow depth in the west.

Sierra Snow

Here’s the GFS forecast for total precipitation over the next 7 days for the west coast. If this verifies it means lots of snow for the Northern Sierra Nevada.

The highest amount for the Sierra is 8-10 inches of precip. That could mean up to 7ft of snow.

Keep in mind that this isn’t set in stone. It could be a lot less, or possibly more! At any rate, it looks like the Sierra will finally see some snow in the coming week.

Shot this iPhone image the day before our snow storm hit. We went from spring like weather to winter overnight.

It took awhile for it to happen, but we’re finally getting some snow here in Wisconsin.

2″ so far. The forecast is calling for up to 6″.

Ice Skating Tenaya Lake in Yosemite National Park

With the lack of snow in the Sierra Nevada, the Tioga Road through Yosemite is still open and folks are enjoying a rare event on what could be the most beautiful ice rink in the world.

Where’s the Snow?

What a difference a year makes. On Dec. 20 of last year the Mammoth Mountain Ski Area had already received over 200 inches of snow and was on it’s way to over 300 inches by the end of Dec. This year the mountain has received 52 inches and only 2 inches in Dec.

Here in Wisconsin it’s pretty much the same story. Last year I had received 7 inches by the 20th and 18″ for the whole month. So far this year I’ve received .5 inches of snow.

For one more comparison, here is the national snow depth for Dec 20, 2011 & 2010

Pretty dramatic difference. Let’s hope that as the new year rolls in things will change.
