The Central Sierra Snow Lab, affiliated with UC Berkeley, has recorded substantial snowfall in the past 24 hours, adding to the already impressive storm total.
A snow accumulation of 9.8 inches (25 cm) in the last day contributes to a storm total of 30.5 inches (77.5 cm) since Sunday.
Over the span of the last 7 days, the region has experienced an impressive 55.7 inches (141.5 cm) of snowfall.
The ongoing snowfall has created picturesque landscapes and contributed significantly to the seasonal snowpack.
UC Berkeley’s snow researchers and meteorologists are closely monitoring these accumulations, contributing valuable data to understanding mountain weather patterns.
As the weather pattern continues, the Central Sierra Snow Lab forecasts another round of snowfall, expecting an additional 4-8 inches. This brings the potential storm total to an impressive accumulation before a drier weather pattern settles in next week.
The recent snowfall has not only delighted winter enthusiasts but is crucial for California’s water resources, contributing to the Sierra Nevada snowpack. This accumulation is vital for the state’s water supply during the upcoming warmer months.
