Even though a clearing trend is on the horizon, cold temps are forecast for the next few days. Saturday night the low in South Lake Tahoe is expected to be 6 degrees. The highs will be in the 20s through Tuesday.
Does anybody know the total accumulation since Tuesday?
I heard Sierra’s claiming 100 inches.
Sierra is probably correct as I live in Meyers near 89 & 50 and I have shoveled my deck, which faces the summit, twice and it was up to the railing both times which is 8 feet (four foot high). I also cleaned the back of my truck bed four times and that’s 2 feet tall on the sides.
Welllllllll….where are these guys getting there info? 60-90 inches on Nez Perce in Meyers area.
