Reno, Nev. (AP) -- The latest in a string of powerful storms is dropping heavy snow and causing widespread school closures and traffic delays Friday in the Reno-Lake Tahoe area.

The Alpine Meadows ski resort just north of Tahoe reports receiving up to 4 feet of snow over a 24-hour period ending Friday morning for a total of as much as 9 feet of snow since the storms began on Monday. Other Sierra resorts are reporting 4 to 7 feet of new snow this week.

Snowpack HuGHmungous

Too bad we didn't have more run-off storage capabilities, blame that on global warming and the perversion the state gubamint has become in California.

No vision, rudderless, under assault by a green brigade of nincompoops, liars and elite..

***Too bad we didn’t have more run-off storage capabilities, blame that on global warming and the perversion the state gubamint has become in California.****

If glo-bull warming causes more snow pack in the Sierras, and this snowmelt flows through dry California, isn’t glo-bull warming a good thing?

But like you say, where is the storage for the snowmelt?

LOL .. The original ‘Mr. FReeZe’ . Obammy is also passing thru the Bay Area and has headed North to Oregon.

It sure got chilly here the last few days and more to come.. about 2 inches here so far since Wednesday.

Dam if I know.. but.. a stab in the dark..

we didn’t need to build massive ones, a few smaller ones spread around, but nNOoOOoo.. It might harm a 5 fingered newt that lives in a bush or affect the smelt population..

Can’t wait for the media to start announcing that despite all the rain, we’re STILL in a drought. They do it every time.

Howdy Norm!
