SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- Parts of California have seen record-setting snow this year. The statewide Sierra snowpack is 192% of the average right now, the Northern Sierra is at 154%, the Central Sierra is 197%, and the Southern Sierra is at 230% of the average for this date.
The following ski resorts already have more than 600 inches of snow this season.
China Peak: 606 inches
Boreal: 610 inches
Sugar Bowl: 605 inches
Dodge Ridge: 612 inches
The UC Berkeley Central Sierra Snow Lab is reporting that "this is the ninth snowiest year since the Snow Lab was built in 1946 and the third snowiest year since 1991 (1995 and 2011 were bigger)."
According to the lab, their snowiest winter had over 67 feet of snow back in the winter of 1951-1952.
There is a Winter Storm Warning up for the Sierra through Wednesday morning as they're expecting an additional 10 to 30 inches of snow.
Later this week, they will get a rain/snow mix.
A Winter Storm Watch has already been issued for Thursday morning through Sunday morning as heavy snow is possible. One to five feet is expected with the heaviest above 7,000 feet.

They complain when there’s not enough snow and then complain when there’s too much. Same thing with the rain. They have a problem with nature
They’ll be skiing into June :)
Global warming does suck-—the left is correct!

Klaus Schwab’s plans to block the sun’s rays must be expedited!
(read it carefully)
California has more snow than Hunter’s briefcase!
Here's hoping...
They’re now expecting 15” in northern England, almost unprecedented.
If only there was a way to capture all that extra water for later use.
Looks like fun.
It used to be 602 inches before that pesky climate change!!
Actually, I just found that Old Porter won't give up...
The Last Winter: The Scientists, Adventurers, Journeymen, and Mavericks Trying to Save the World Hardcover, November 2, 2021, by Porter Fox (Author)
As the planet warms, winter is shrinking. In the last fifty years, the Northern Hemisphere lost a million square miles of spring snowpack and in the US alone, snow cover has been reduced by 15-30%. On average, winter has shrunk by a month in most northern latitudes.
In this deeply researched, beautifully written, and adventure-filled book, journalist Porter Fox travels along the edge of the Northern Hemisphere's snow line to track the scope of this drastic change, and how it will literally change everything—from rapid sea level rise, to fresh water scarcity for two billion people, to massive greenhouse gas emissions from thawing permafrost, and a half dozen climate tipping points that could very well spell the end of our world.
This original research is animated by four harrowing and illuminating journeys—each grounded by interviews with idiosyncratic, charismatic experts in their respective fields and Fox's own narrative of growing up on a remote island in Northern Maine.
Timely, atmospheric, and expertly investigated, The Last Winter will showcase a shocking and unexpected casualty of climate change—that may well set off its own unstoppable warming cycle.
Well played sir!
IF only
😂😂😂😂
That is funny.
These folks are delusional.....
Maybe. But does Cali have more snow than Hunter has done?
“Problem with nature...”
They complain because they can’t control it, but they’ll keep trying anyway....with our money.
