NOAA: 6-18″ of Snow Forecast for Lake Tahoe Today

Another Pacific storm is impacting Lake Tahoe today.  NOAA is forecasting 6-18″ of snow above 7,000-feet.  Snow levels started at 8,000-feet but are expected to drop to lake level by Monday morning.

Tahoe’s most recent storm dropped about 12-inches of snow on most of the West Side ski resorts.  Mt. Rose reported 28″ from the storm.  If this next storm does end up providing another foot or so, that’s definitely gonna help things significantly around here.
