#6 Tahoe Regional Weather Alert this morning:
"A significant atmospheric river storm will bring renewed impacts to the region Friday through early Sunday morning.

Rain and snow: Heavy rain and high elevation snow is anticipated with this storm with peak rates Saturday and Saturday night. Liquid totals in the Sierra could reach 5 to 7 inches over a 2-day period, with 2 to 4 inches in the foothills, and 1 to 2 inches across western Nevada.

Snow levels and character: Snow levels are expected to rise to 8000-8500 feet for around 24 hours during the heaviest precipitation. Snow levels then begin to fall Saturday afternoon bringing impacts to most Sierra passes by evening and to Lake Tahoe and foothill elevations by early Sunday morning. The snow will be a heavy and wet Sierra cement."
(Each inch=as much as 1 foot of snow)

#8 This is all very needed moisture. Leave it to the media to put a negative slant on good news. It's been a nice steady soaking rain today in The Shire. Supposed to get a break tomorrow and then a restart Thursday into Tuesday. Here's hoping...

#9 Lake Oroville water level rose about 2' between local midnight and noon today.

After today's storm, Thursday's storm and the weekend storm, I would not be surprised to see a further 20' rise by this time next week with a lot of water equivalent in snow yet to melt. As JHH notes, the rise in the lake level is very welcome.

#11 Journolists are stupid. "We got a foot of rain with impending floods and destruction, yet it won't solve all of our drought needs"
