Yeaaaahhhhh this probably extends the season for another couple weeks at least. Things were getting pretty sun cupped & bumpy out there.

It's lake effect and highly concentrated in South Lake Tahoe. In Alpine Meadows at 6,500ft we got about 2" yesterday and it's already melted.

Nice, happy to see it pushing farther towards the crest. Previous comment was according to NWS Reno report this morning and looking out my window. Still barely anything going on up here in Alpine.

View from my deck at 6,500ft just now. Blue skies, the sun is out.

Yeah, ground is so warm, anything that doesn't fall on existing snow will melt pretty fast.
