California’s ‘White Christmas’ Breaks December Snowfall Record in Sierra, Easing Drought
Breitbart ^ | 28 Dec 2021 | JOEL B. POLLAK

Posted on 12/28/2021 3:35:17 PM PST by Hojczyk

The San Francisco Chronicle reported:

On Monday, the UC Berkeley Central Sierra Snow Lab, located northwest of Lake Tahoe at Donner Pass, recorded 38.9 inches of snowfall over the previous 24 hours — bringing the monthly total to 193.7 inches so far for December. The previous December record was in 1970, with 179 inches of snow.

“We smashed the snowfall record for December, which is crazy because it didn’t start snowing until about three weeks ago, and we didn’t have any snow for six weeks prior to that,” [OpenSnow forecaster Brian] Allegretto said.

After receiving huge early-season snow dumps at the end of October, Tahoe was hit with a warm, dry spell in November that kept the mountains around Tahoe all but dirt bare.

This month’s mammoth snowstorms also helped bolster California’s snowpack: The state increased its snowpack average from 18% on Dec. 1 to 153% through Monday, according to state data.

Snow continued into the week, with storms Monday and Tuesday, and possibly on Friday as well, the last day of December.

Other mountainous parts of California, including the mountains north of San Bernardino, have received heavy snowfall this week, bringing a late “white Christmas” to the higher elevations in the state, and much-needed rain below.

You can bet the Snowflake and princess “news readers” will insist that this isn’t going to help “da drought.” They’re “experts” about it.

Boy, I sure hope Squaw Valley got a lot of snow and the skiing is great.

Oops, I guess I am now a racist for writing the word SQUAW.

Doesn’t help the farmers who lost thousands of trees to the snot fish.

We’re getting a pretty good dump today in upper Magalia, Ca. I’ve heard Donner Pass has 60 feet so far.

More evidence of global warming...

It just keeps pilling up, especially in the high Sierra Nevada
mountains.

It won’t help the drought AND we should also worry about mudslides now and wildfires later.

“It just keeps pilling up, especially in the high Sierra Nevada

A few Avalanches will now be on the way. The MSM will be clutching their Pearls that we are better off in drought than having the snowfall.

You’ll be hard pressed to find anyone in Tahoe who would think “you’re a racist!”.

Squaw Valley will forever be known as such to most every skier who has ever skied there.

The rest will be driving around lost, looking for the road signs to the mountain.

It won’t help the drought since they will leave the spillways open until they drain all the water — do you put this by them?
