Late Spring Storm Could Bring Upwards of a Foot of Snow to Sierra Passes This Weekend
News4 ^ | Fri, May 3rd 2024

If April showers bring May flowers then what does May bring? Apparently significant snow at higher elevations.

The National Weather Service in Reno has issued a winter weather advisory for the greater Lake Tahoe basin and parts of the high Sierra.

The NWS says snow accumulations up to three to six inches are expected around Lake Tahoe and six to 12 inches over higher Sierra passes, with up to 10 to 14 inches across the Sierra crest above 7,000 feet.

The bulk of the storm moves through Saturday and wraps up by 8 a.m. on Sunday, May 5.

Roads, especially bridges and overpasses, will likely become slick and hazardous causing dangerous travel conditions.

Those traveling over higher Sierra passes and recreating in the Sierra back country should be prepared for late season wintry conditions at times overnight Saturday into early Sunday morning.

Yet, they still are charging us drought rates, and they haven’t built a new reservoir in more than 60 years.

California should stop dumping rainwater and snow melt into the ocean and leave Klamath River dams , Owens Valley, and ... alone.

ENGINEERED FAMINE: California diverting water flows into the ocean, depriving rice farmers of necessary irrigation to grow food..

THIS is the SAME I-80 that the USPS will have to use to transport N NEVADA MAIL IF they continue with plans to abandon the RENO sorting facility & move all that activity to Sacramento.

There have already been 13 closures of I-80 this winter-—and a total of 37 days. HUNDREDS of trucks backed up in each directions ....

Creating this fiasco is just plain nuts.

I live rural east of Carson City/Reno.

Mail to my vendors that now takes 2 days will take up to 5 days.

War on farmers - the left hates farmers / kulaks who grow food.
