RENO, Nev. – If everything lines up just right, the Sierra Nevada and Lake Tahoe ski resorts could be in for some rough but welcome weather in the days ahead.
The National Weather Service has issued a special weather statement for the region beginning Thursday through the weekend.
Forecasters on Monday predicted snow totals in the range of 5 to 10 feet along the Sierra crest, with about 2 feet around Lake Tahoe.
Three storm systems are approaching the region and forecasters said they will be accompanied by strong winds that could create blizzard conditions.
Rain is likely at first in the valleys of western Nevada, but snow levels are expected to lower to the valley floors by the weekend.
After a lackluster winter last year, a hefty dumping of snow would be good news for the Sierra snowpack and region's water supply.

Heard this on my Christmas present last night!
Cleaned the woodstove,Cut firewood, and split enough kindling to survive.
Wouldn’t you know that my central heat and air would pick this time of year to take a dump!

This is going to be a very inconvenient truth.
I was planning on driving across the pass on Saturday on my way to my new job. Now I'm going to have to leave early.
Snow driving doesn't bother me, but the way Kalifornicators drive in snow bothers me.

I wonder if that means more Santa Ana Winds for us in SoCal?
To: NormsRevenge
Reports are that heavy damage to the lifts and lodge has occured and avalanche warnings are in effect. That can only mean one thing......
