The wider storm

After a brief break, the second in a series of strong winter systems impacted northeast CA and the eastern Sierra from the 18th to 19th. During this time, an additional 1 to 3 feet of snow fell, leading to continued road closures and delays. Overall snowfall totals in four days ranged from 3-6 feet down to lake level and west of US-395 in Mono County and over 9 feet near the crest. The Central Sierra Snow Lab's 5-day total of 111' was the third largest in the lab's reporting history since 1970 (only 7.5' short of its 5-day record from April 1982).
