We had snow down below 1,000 feet here. Kirkwood picked up 36" at the lodge and almost 4 feet on the summit. 3 more storms are lined up off shore and due to pound us through Sunday. I think I may have to take a mental health day and head to Kirkwood next week. Mammoth should be fantastic during Christmas week if this keeps up!

We had snow down to about 800 feet here in the SF bay area. Kirwood picked up 36" at the lodge, and almost 4 feet up top. Now, series of 3 more storms is lined up and due to pound us until Sunday.

Then we got even more storms in late January and it was amazing. I won't be back in SoCal until after the new year, so here's hoping that El Nino kicks in and gives us a huge snowpack in the SGs in Jan and Feb!

ESAC has been trying to hire a forecaster for some time now, but last I heard there still wasn't anyone qualified to fill the job.
