It’s been a good season in California so far.  Especially when compared to the past 4 lousy winters in CA.  February was a bit of a bust, but we did get that one, big 30″ storm last week.

This quote is very interesting:

“Right now, we have more snow on the ground, and totals at 8,000′, than we did this time in the 810″ winter (2010-11 season)” – Will Paden, Director of Avalanche Forecasting at Squaw Valley, February 17th, 2016

Hopefully El Nino will kick back in and we’ll start getting some really big snow numbers in California.
