Posted: Thu Feb 12, 2009 12:49 pm
NOT MUCH HAPPENED LAST NIGHT AS THE ANTICIPATED COLD FRONT SPLIT BE FORE IT REACHED US. HOWEVER A FEW INCHES OF NEW SNOW DID FALL OVER THE CREST. MOSTLY DRY TODAY AND TONIGHT AHEAD OF A COLDER, MODERATE SYSTEM FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY MORNING. THIS SYSTEM SHOULD PROVIDE OUR AREA WITH MORE PRECIPITATION THAN THE LAST TWO HAVING THE POTENTIAL TO DROP UP TO 24 INCHES OF SNOW OVER THE CREST AND MAYBE AN INCH OR TWO ON THE OWENS VALLEY FLOOR. RIGHT NOW IT LOOKS TO BE DRY LATER IN THE DAY ON SATURDAY THEN ANOTHER WETTER, SLOWER MOVING STORM VISITS US ON SUNDAY INTO MONDAY OF NEXT WEEK. THIS SYSTEM COULD BE A REAL SNOW MAKER, PARTICULARLY IN THE UPPER ELEVATIONS AND OVER THE CREST.
