We picked up another 10 inches yesterday bringing the storm total to 16 inches. The cold front slowed and sat over the South side of the lake longer yesterday bringing about double the expected snowfall.
We have a break today but the next system arrives tomorrow. This one will be splitting and we may only see clouds and a few flakes. That's ok because the next storm is set to move in Saturday night into Sunday. This storm is not a big one either but it's cold and could bring another 6-9 inches to the mountain.
Lingering moisture from the Sunday storm and moisture ahead of the next system may keep snow showers going for Monday. Then on Tuesday a slightly stronger system looks to push in. This storm has more moisture and the potential is there for 1-2 feet of additional snow. Not much of a break Wednesday before we could see a similar storm to Tuesday's on Thursday.
Looking at next weekend and into Christmas week it looks like the trough could dig off the coast with a slow moving low pressure pushing towards the coast. That pattern could pull in lots of moisture off the Pacific and could bring a bigger storm around the 23rd or Christmas Eve.
So to summarize, light snowfall continues into this weekend with moderate size storms next week and potentially bigger storms for week 2.
