Sunday A.M. Update

Resorts around the area reporting from 6-12 inches from the storm already. Current radar shows the snow enhancing to our west as we speak. Snowfall should pick up in intensity as we go thru the day. Total liquid on computer models for the past day have been consistent with 1.5-1.75 inches. Just to the south of lake tahoe there is a zone that will get 2+". With snow levels crashing to 1500 ft. this evening snow ratios will remain high. Will once again bump up my snowfall projections to match the computer models. 36-48 inches in total possible by the time we get a break on Wed.

Next storm Thurs-Sat looks like less moisture as it comes down over land with current models showing .5-.75 inches of liquid. This will be a lower snow ratio storm so 6-12 inches is the call right now.

Christmas week we could begin two weeks of heavy snowstorms. Ridge will retrograde out to the magical 150w and storms will have an open door. If the pattern continues to go the way it looks right now we may have over 100 inches by the end of the month. Another update Tuesday morning with snowfall totals from around the area. Have fun and be safe!!!
