What the National Weather Service wrote

The Chagoopa Plateau SNOTEL (9450 feet) picked up an estimated 31 inches of new snowfall.

The wider storm

Another cold upper trough moved across central California on February 27 and 28 which resulted in another period of widespread precipitation across the area. The snow level was between 3000 and 4000 feet or much of this event which resulted in heavy snowfall for the Sierra Nevada where several SNOTELs picked up an estimated 2 to 3 feet of new snowfall. Below the snow line, much of the San Joaquin Valley picked up between a quarter to a half inch of additional rainfall over already saturated soil while the Sierra foothills picked up between a half inch and an inch of combined liquid precipitation. Several roads in the mountains remained closed as a result of the continued snowfall across the area. The precipitation ended by the morning of March 1 as a colder and drier airmass pushed into central California.
