Oh yeah for sure and I know. You're right the past 9 years have been extremely frustrating with snowfall. All along we are seeing a huge surge in snowpack out west. Literally they are calling for 8 to 12 feet out there this weekend. Maybe things will end up balancing out. I know I know. We are moving the goal posts as it is to climate and ever changing weather patterns.

Crazy! Including the cities of Glenbrook, Incline Village, Truckee, Stateline, South Lake Tahoe, Markleeville, and Tahoe City 1218 PM PST Tue Feb 27 2024 ...BLIZZARD WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 10 AM THURSDAY TO 10 AM PST SUNDAY... * WHAT...Blizzard conditions likely, particularly from Friday evening through Saturday morning. Snow accumulations between 2 and 4 feet for Lake Tahoe communities, with 4 to 8 feet above 7000 feet. Winds gusting to 60 mph in lower elevations and above 100 mph over Sierra ridges. * WHERE...Greater Lake Tahoe Area.

A lot of question marks and not good answers for snow lovers. Our climate is changing for the worse. With all the warming a lot of us may never see big snows again.

Yep tomorrow night looks like we could see a few flakes then we could see a start of a mix to rain. Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk

Yeah I've been reading a ton on how all the lakes and reservoirs are at or near normal again which is amazing considering the absolute horrific drought they were in for several years. I read earlier this year that new rainfall wouldn't make a difference but wow has it.
