Heavy Snow For the Carson Range Expected Through Saturday

A massive storm, that we talked about last post is slamming Northern California. Despite the strength of this storm, much of the Carson Range has been shadowed out.

That is about to change.

The last big wave will be sliding south and will produce heavy snow above 7,500 and will cross over the Sierra and Lake Tahoe and should bring about 3-5 feet of snow to Slide Mountain by late Saturday night.

The heaviest snow will last from about 7pm tomorrow through the early morning hours Saturday.

We will get a short break before this same storm gathers and brings a lighter wave of precip to most of the Sierra from late Sunday through all of Monday. We could pick up an additional foot in the Carson Range, however we will be shadowed out again from the really big stuff.

Thanksgiving now looks dry so the pattern will change back to a blocking ridge of high pressure. These next few storms need to produce some heavy amounts of snow if we want superior skiing and riding after Thanksgiving. The dry pattern looks like it could be long lasting, so do your rain dance.

We will take a look through the crystal ball for our next big pattern change in the coming days.
