A relentless winter at Lake Tahoe has now etched its way into the history books as the Sierra's second-snowiest on record.
FILE - A truck drives along snow berms in Running Springs, Calif., Tuesday, Feb. 28, 2023. Since December, 2022, a parade of a dozen atmospheric storms have dumped so much snow up and down the Sierra that several ski resorts around Lake Tahoe have had to shut down multiple times. The National Weather Service in Reno recently called it the"winter that just doesn't want to end.
The final day of the Nevada high school state skiing championships was canceled. Roofs collapsed under the weight of snow and schools shuttered for days. Interstate 80 closed several times between Reno and Sacramento. For this winter to overtake the record in 1951-52, another 145 inches would have to fall — unlikely, but not out of the question.
The lab doesn’t formally recognize those numbers because they were from slightly different locations using a different methodology.
