The series of storms continues to bring snow to the Sierra, with one part in the Mammoth Lakes area accumulating 20 inches.
According to the National Weather Service, the Mt. Rose ski resort saw 12 inches, Incline Village saw 7 inches and Alpine Village saw 6 inches. The weather service said the totals marked one of the biggest single storms the region has seen in several years. [Ever since the earth quit warming about 19 years ago, I suppose.]
The storm also brought heavy rain to coastal areas of Northern California. In Monterey, San Benito, Santa Cruz and Santa Clara counties, more than an inch of rain fell in some areas. The Bay Area saw less rainfall but more than 500 lightning strikes. Strong wind gusts also were reported, according to the National Weather Service.
