It may not be an atmospheric river, but a weather front rolling through Northern California whipped up snow flurries across the Sierra Tuesday, adding to already impressive season totals.
The latest statewide snowpack measurement from the California Department of Water Resources taken from 130 snow sensors placed throughout the Sierra Nevada shows the snowpack's snow-water equivalent is 61.1 inches, or 237 percent of average for April 1."This year's result will go down as one of the largest snowpack years on record in California," said Sean de Guzman, manager of DWR's Snow Surveys and Water Supply Forecasting Unit.
"A band of snow showers has been crossing through the region this morning," NWS forecasters in Reno said."But it'll move out just as quick as it came in...Accumulations look minimal. Remaining snow totals for this system: Tahoe Basin: 7-9" along the western crest, 2-6" below 7000'." ❄️The calendar says April, but it looks like a winter wonderland up in the Sierra this morning. Check road conditions if you're traveling in the mountains.
