It's a lot of snow but not a record according to the Colfax Record a local newspaper in these parts. The record is 833 inches in 1907.
Living right in the path of these storms gets old and we have been getting a boat load of rain up here (3-4) inches a day this past week. Also have had to deal with 3 big snow storms that usually dump 2-3 feet of Sierra cement in our area means I'll be bonding with my Sthil this spring.
In 1982-83? Sugarbowl Ski resort had over 800 inches of snow. They had to dig the ski lifts out to use them in places when I was sking back then.
I believe this year is going to test the Sacramento levee system on a higher than normal "wet" winter.
Just wanted to let our northern and eastern friends know sometimes we feel you snow pain.
