We were there for a week and the region received over 9' of snow. For a Michigan native, growing up skiing the wet, heavy snow of the Midwest, the dry, deep powder of the Sierras was truly "heavenly"!
Nice post. But why is the first paragraph duplicated?
Hmmm...
Maybe I should rethink my thoughts about buying that $44,000,000 lakefront property...
What they are describing is a Seiche

There is a fault line called SNTF Stateline North Tahoe Fault. Thats where the quakes have seemed to be centered or at least the recent swarmThe size of any quake is not the particular danger. There a shelf running SW from Crystal Bay that can generate an underwater landslide

The landslide can generate a very quick violent wave. I wouldn’t want to be on the east or south side of the lake if that happens. An extreme example is Lituya Bay in Alaska in the 50’s.
We have property in Incline Village but are north of Hwy 28 so have a fair amount of protection. If you are caught on the beach fogedaboutit.
I wonder if this is related to the huge lava store in Yellowstone Park, that’s supposed to blow any old time.
