Lake Tahoe hasn’t seen a big storm in a while… signs that the pattern is shuffling after a month+ of consistency.

Talked to my son last night he lives and works at Park City. They're finally getting much needed snows. Looks like they'll be getting 18" out of that system that dumped on Tahoe.

Hopes tor additional snowdays this year are melting faster than the pack in this mild second-half of February sun.

wouldn't be surprised if the season ended in a wimper snowwise. The only saving grace to this season was the big dump on 1/26 and the prolonged cold - great for retention. Best riding season in years. Had it not been for the last good dump and the retention, season would have been very different. This is the time to cash in to build the pack heading into march, but window is starting to close slightly and my interest in big snows start to wane my mid march. We'll see how it shakes out

If I had to choose a winter this reminded me of it would be 2003-2004....impressive cold, but not really one I would care to relive again because there was only one really good storm. ...though I got porked in the biggie that season, so this year would rank ahead of it.

This season had far better snowpack retention too because December 2003 turned torchy about 8-10 days after the big dog and everything got wiped out before Xmas. January 2004 had good "pack" retention, but calling it a pack is stretching it....it was a few inches of sand. 

Still think we can get another big storm.  2004 tried and sort of failed on 3/16....moderate storm but left some on the table.

Agree.

Yea, I would rank this ahead of 2003-2004, but kind of similar tendencies. Yea, that December 5th event got wiped that year.

This deep snow really helped preserve lawns around here. Pretty incredible how green my lawn is under the snow.

Looks like you got some spring cleanup up to do eventually. No matter how leave free I get my lawn in November, by Spring I have leaves and sticks to clean up.

Two good storms here, 24" and 13.2", but by Dec 15 we'd gotten 51% of the snow season total, which was about 15" BN.  January did have our coldest afternoon highs since Fort Kent on 14-15, with -11 and -8, and a stiff breeze.  (The -11 was spoiled by the -7 at my previous evening's observations.)

where's my projected 35" over the next 7 days????

Maybe move the decimal point one space to the left?

The snow at the Mansfield stake has tracked 03-04 pretty closely so far.
