If anything that is warm for Truckee. Heavy snow is very common there. I was there once when there was like 7' on the ground and an incoming storm was supposed to bring in another 9 " that night. We booked it back West down what was then Hwy 20(Now I-80)so we didn't get caught in it.
California is definitely getting slammed right now, especially in the higher elevations where they are measuring new accumulation in feet today. :froze: :froze: :eek: :eek: One place now has 102" on the ground with heavy snow still falling. :double: :froze:
