Major Sierra Dumping
Wow, what a storm. Winter Storm Warnings remain in effect until 4pm today.
Snowfall totals are amazing this morning. Mammoth Mtn has 52″ with another foot expected today, Kirkwood is reporting 36-48″, Bear Valley is at 35″, Squaw Valley has 34-42″. Even Bishop got 5″ last night. I’d be curious to know what Yosemite Valley got. They were expecting a foot. If anyone knows how much snow they got please leave a comment.
All of this heavy wet snow on top of the lighter snow from the last storm means the avalanche danger is high in the Sierra right now. An Avalanche Advisory has been issued for the Sierra. To learn more about this visit the Sierra Avalanche Center.
All reports from you guys are welcome. Also, feel free to include links to any pictures you may have.
It doesn’t appear that this storm is going to affect us in Wisconsin. We have a chance of snow tomorrow, but they are only calling for an inch.
hey steven, hope ur feeling better. I got a little over 4″ before it started to lightly rain then off-on snow-rain mix hit yesterday evening. Still have a lot of low hanging cloud/fog around but it’s starting to lift. I’m thinking the buttermilks got an easy 12″ of snow or more. Hoping to get out this afternoon.
Working on getting some time lapse movies up from yesterday and day before.
Time lapse movies added for yesterday’s storm, Dec. 12 and fri. Dec. 11 here.
Thanks for the update Cory. I put a post up about the time-lapse movies. Those are so cool.
The first Snowfall here in the Valley, which was wonderful!, was pretty much washed away by rain yesterday, that turned to rain snow in the early morning today. There’s at most a foot on the ground now, which will soon melt during the day, and freeze at night, making pathways hazardous! Walk like a Penguin.
