Now This Is One Hell Of A Storm

From the Reno Gazette: We’re definitely keeping a close eye on the system tonight,” McGuire said. “The key to the snowfall amounts is going to be the snow levels. We’ve had numerous conference calls with state and local agencies.”
Snowfall in the Sierra above 7,000 feet is expected to be 5 to 10 feet and 1 to 3 feet at Lake Tahoe. A rain/snow mix could happen on the valley floor through tonight, McGuire said.
