The forecast big storm that was upgraded twice rolled through Lake Tahoe last night and did not disappoint.   

This storm hit the west slope hard, dropped around 9โ€ณ on the Sierra Crest, then picked up Lake-Effect Snow and clobbered the east side of the lake.  Mt. Rose got more snow than Squawโ€ฆ

Oh, and Mammoth got 20-36โ€ณ in the past 48 hoursโ€ฆ

This NOAA map from this morning shows us exactly where the deepest snow fell. Looks like it was real deep up north by Mt. Lassen....
