0.3-0.4” IMBY on the nearby NWS Obs. Map. Puts us about 1” of rain for April. Maybe a little below average but today and Sunday will get us close or back to normal most likely.
Yeah, should get 1-2’ in the cascades at 4-5k plus which helps atleast. No way to slice it bad year but the march snows and this system take it out of all time low territory.
I skied up to Muir last week, snowpack is insanely bad. We obviously know it’s bad at 5K feet from the obs but it’s even worse at 7-8K. It’s firmly second worst behind 2014-15 at Paradise and I suspect at 8K feet it might be worse.
Mountain snowpack should get a pretty decent boost the next couple days. Really need that. Doesn’t entirely make up for the bad winter but some well timed march and April mountain snows have really made a huge difference in what could’ve been an all time horrible snowpack.
