“Miracle March” arrived with a bang on Saturday, dropping up to 62″ of new snow on the Western USA and it will continue the next 7 days with more large snowfall totals.
NOAA is calling forย 7-15″ of liquid precipitation forecast on the West Coast (see map just below video). ย If that all came as snow, it would equal about 7-15 feet of snowfall… ย Most likely it’ll be more like 4-5′ of snow, which is still epic.
So far, only New Mexico has a Snow Advisory.
VIDEO of Coming “Parade of Storms”:
A series of storms will move through California starting with a weaker system Tuesday/Wednesday. We expect stronger storms to follow!
