Heavy snow band set up along the South end of the lake yesterday afternoon bringing 4 inches to Sierra. The main heavy snow band with the cold front set up on the North side of Truckee into Reno and stalled there all night. Places around Reno received a foot of snow overnight. The band was forecasted to shift South overnight and bring us additional snow, but it has barely made it South if I-80 yet.
Currently the snow band is still stalled to our North through Reno. It is forecasted to finally drop South today and combine with the North end of a storm coming in just to our South off the Pacific. Looking for 3-6 inches today and tonight with 4-8 above 7000 ft. Due to the cold front moving South more slowly, it will push the storm coming in off the Pacific a bit further South tonight.
Storm still on track Wednesday to bring moderate amounts of snow in the 6-12 inch range. Stronger storm for Saturday approaches the coast. Looking a little more like it splits with the heaviest snow going into Southern CA, but we still get a decent amount. For the El Nino lovers remember how many of these storms it is causing to go South of us.
Progressive pattern should continue with storms every 2-3 days through the first week of March. BA
