S. Lake Tahoe, Tahoe City set record highs
Lake Tahoe’s seesaw weather pattern will continue. Last week it was snow. Now there are record highs. Next week plan for rain and snow.
South Lake Tahoe on Wednesday and Thursday hit record highs. On March 13 the high was 69, while the previous record of 64 was set in 2007. On March 14 the mercury hit 66. The previous record was 62, also set in 2007.

Tahoe City also hit a record on Wednesday at 63. The previous high was 58 from 2005. The March 14 high is 63 from 2007. But with the temps not called into the National Weather Service in Reno until the morning, it’s not known if Tahoe City hit a high Thursday. The forecast, though, called for a high of 64.
Reno on Wednesday broke a long-standing record with its 77 degrees. The previous high of 76 was set in 1888. Cloud cover prevented Reno from hitting consecutive highs.
The normal high for South Lake Tahoe this time of year is 48 degrees.
“We’re going to see the ridge flatten by the weekend and see a cooling trend,” Jessica Kilhorn, meteorologist technician, with the National Weather Service in Reno, told Lake Tahoe News.
Rain is expected to roll into the basin on Tuesday night, with snow dropping to lake level on Wednesday.
While the Weather Service isn’t predicting precipitation amounts at this point, Kilhorn said, “It could be very moist.”

Its really a sign the times when the Europeans can predict weather better in the U.S.A. than our country’s old worn out computers that can’t compute as accurate.
Our country invented the computers,our country invented the cars,but why is it all the other countries on the planet took our ideas to higher level of quality?
Why can’t we be number one at anything other than the biggest number one country on food states and lack of opportunity.
Time to forget winter sports go to the valleys and rivers down south enjoy open parks ,camping,months ahead of the opening dates in a cash strapped system of opening gates and heads ,road work.
I am tempted to ask for examples. But given the clarity of the writing I don’t expect that there is much substance behind it.
