1/30/12: The Sierra at last does have snow, but it isn't much. No significant
snow is expected for the next week, nor probably for the week after that. It being likely
that we'll still have only a foot or two of snow on the ground with what will be just
over a month to go before Spring, it's starting to look like a doomed season.
1/23/12: We got up to 4 feet of fresh over the weekend. Keep in mind
that's mostly on top of bare ground, so more is certainly needed,
but at least there's snow cover. Nothing new coming for the next week.
1/16/12: Finally! A big storm is on the way as we approach the
weekend. A little on the wet side, and it might not do as well
much south of Tahoe, but we'll take it.
1/9/12: Nuthin'.
1/2/12: Ditto (sigh). The Sierra remains pretty much dry for yet another week.
12/26/11: No significant new snow expected in the next week, though maybe
our luck will turn the week after New Years.
12/19/11: The Sierra is more or less bare, and no significant snow is expected through
the end of the month. Some downhill resorts have OK conditions on man-made snow.
12/12/11: With a snowpack that's only inches thick, we have no significant new snow in
the forecast (aside from maybe an inch later in the week).
12/5/11: Resorts with snowmaking are the only game in town;
more dry weather for at least the next week.
11/28/11: Cool and clear for the next week or so, other than a possible dusting
in a few days; the thin snowpack is fading away, or all gone depending on slope
aspect.
11/21/11: There's about a foot of snow on the ground following last week's
storms. We can expect just a bit more on top of that around Thanksgiving Day,
and then more clear weather. Many downhill resorts are opening this week,
thanks to snowmaking.
6/13/11: It's heating up some this week; chance of some unsettled weather on the weekend.
6/6/11: Storm clouds are clearing, with spring conditions returning to the high country through next weekend. Sonora Pass is likely to reopen (it was open briefly a week ago) by the weekend. Ski conditions in the high country remain outstanding, so get out there while it lasts.
5/30/11: Most of a foot of fresh in the Sierra this weekend. More unsettled weather coming for the next week.
5/23/11: Mostly warm weather, with some spring storm activity late in the week.
5/16/11: We actually got more than a foot of fresh snow this past weekend, and significantly more is expected in the next couple of days.
5/9/11: Cooler this week, with some storm activity expected by the weekend.
5/2/11: Very warm weather all week.
4/25/11: After a just a bit more fresh snow, it'll clear up for the rest of the week.
4/18/11: Unsettled weather continues, with the possibility of significant snow mid-week.
4/11/11: It's springtime and there's lots of snow. Get out there!
4/4/11: It's been warm for about a week, but that's about to change; cool unsettled conditions are about to move in, with some new snow arriving by the weekend.
3/28/11: It's snowed well over 10 feet in the past two weeks, leaving the snowpack at near-record depths throughout the range. The weather's mood changes now, though: We have sunshine this week, getting quite warm by the weekend.
3/21/11: Wow, up to 7 feet of fresh in the past week, and there's plenty more on the way this coming week.
3/14/11: Stormy weather ahead, with a few feet likely by the weekend, more in the north than the south.
3/7/11: Cool unsettled weather continues, but not much more snow for now.
2/28/11: Yet more snow arrived late last week, plentiful and remarkably cold and light. It's clear now, but we can expect a couple feet more snow in a few days.
2/21/11: The Sierra snowpack has opened a new chapter, with 7 feet of fresh, give or take, in the past week. Plenty more fresh snow arrives by next weekend.
2/14/11: After a month and a half of mostly dry weather, the storm window reopens this week. Look for 4 feet or more of fresh, perhaps more from Tahoe northwards.
2/7/11: Dry conditions continue, though it's supposed to cool off a bit. Chance of snow next weekend.
1/31/11: We got a badly needed half-foot to freshen things up, but it's another dry week from here.
1/24/11: The dry spell continues in the coming week. Look for icy snow (at best), except on south-facing slopes where you might find nice "spring" snow. Or go skate-skiing.
1/17/11: No precip expected for another week or more.
1/10/11: We'll get some fresh snow this week; not a lot, but hopefully enough to refresh the surface a bit.
1/3/11: The Sierra snowpack is glorious, but it's now time for a week of cool and clear. All that powder from last week's storms is about to ice up.
12/27/10: Our epic winter continues with yet more snow dumpage later this week.
12/20/10: This past week was huge, and we have more heavy snow to look forward to through Christmas. This is easily one of the biggest early-season snow years in decades.
12/13/10: Major stormage resumes this week; 4 feet or more by the weekend.
12/6/10: With the latest boost, we have a very decent snowpack for this early in the season. A warm storm arrives in a few days, mostly from Tahoe northwards, which could give us a bit more.
11/29/10: Winter continues to shape up nicely, with another foot of fresh just arrived, and more to come by the weekend.
11/22/10: This is our first significant snowfall of the season, and it's a goody! We could have as much as 6 feet by the time it all clears mid-week.
