After a bit over 2" of rain yesterday, #ForkedMeadow #California received about 2" of snow overnight. It is now 20f under partly-cloudy skies. Today the meadows might receive up to a foot of snow. The next band of moisture should arrive in an hour.

For the water year we're around 40" of precipitation. I don't have an exact number because our automated weather station has no way of measuring snow moisture so it's estimated

While Los Angeles burns, the central #SierraNevada hasn't had a shot of moisture in several weeks and at the 6000 foot level at #ForkedMeadow near #DinkeyCreek and #ShaverLake in #California has very little snow cover left. This is reminiscent of January 2018 when we were still firmly in a drought and I camped in the area without any worry of snow.

We should have a half dozen feet of snow on the ground in an "average" year and historically it would be potentially much more.

After an overnight low of 24f, it is currently 30f at #ForkedMeadow #California

The forecast currently has rain starting Friday and then rain and snow mixed starting Saturday evening through the following Tuesday.

We aren't exactly off to a fast start on the water year in the central #SierraNevada. But it isn't quite as bad as 2018 where there wasn't any real snow in the #ShaverLake and #DinkeyCreek area until February.
