Winter is champing at the bit in the Sierra!!!
Snow is falling at altitude at Mammoth Ski Resort. Looks to be 2-3 inches now on the ground and even pavements! These places have surface chillax characteristics for preconsolidation and possibly even some limited surface frigidization. Snowpack can now be seen on the ground at the Woolly Cam and also at the Main Lodge.

Lights are out but reflectivity/surface albedo are way too high for that not to be at least an inch of wet snow, possibly 2-3 inches, enough for a meaningful jebwalk. Snow will continue even as temps dip to 30. Village Level is all rain, it can be seen in the puddles. That rain is at least moderate. Imagine the snow at higher elevations!

Palisades Tahoe has a coating to an inch at the Scope, which is now the only camera operative there.
