The unending bumper crop of winter snow is now bumping up against safety and the snowpack could pack a punch for spring flooding. We haven't seen his kind of snow since Nixon was in the White House.
Around 7 p.m. Tuesday, a huge, 200-foot wide, 25-foot tall avalanche hit a three-story apartment building in Olympic Valley near Palisades Ski Resort. It buried two floors. Fortunately, there were no casualties."It slid down the mountain on the other side of the Palisades Lodge or the Squaw Valley Lodge. There are a bunch of condos back there and older apartments," said Szabo.
"Going forward it just looks like those numbers are going to increase and that's going to help us, not only with short-term drought but hopefully, with the long-term drought as well," said Andrew Schwartz, director of the UC Berkeley Snow Lab near Donner Summit. As of March 1, the network shows the Sierra snowpack in northern California is 150% of normal for this date, 191% in the central zone, and a whopping 224% in the southern zone. That 40 feet of snow already up there, will melt into a most 4 feet of water. More is coming. Early warm weather or warm rain could cause floods."Up here at the Snow Lab, we've seen temperatures, on average, during the day in the low to mid-twenties recently," said Schwartz.
