snowpack

The numbers will change when a new storm hits this week. The Lake Tahoe basin could get 4 feet.

The ‘impressive’ accumulations in Big Bear, Wrightwood, and the Lake Tahoe area are expected to boost a snow season that has been lackluster so far.

Snowpack in the Sierra Nevada near South Lake Tahoe—which supplies about 30 percent of the state’s water—measured 30 percent of average, officials reported.
