6-10 feet. Does it just sit there until summer? It's hard to imagine.

Come spring, it will start to melt, some may remain on the highest peaks especially on the north facing flanks, when the Donner Party got snowed in in 1846, there was nearly 20 ft of snow.

I have heard of Buffalo, NY getting ridiculous (comparable) dumps. As a kid I was like wtfrig.as an adult it boggles me more.

If any of these same ateas got rain instead, what would be the outcomes?

You just have to BBQ uncle Joe to feed the kids while you are waiting for the melt.

Waiting for it to hit. We're at the north end of the Sierra at 4000', so nothing like what's going to hit the central Sierra, but still going to be a good one. Fist time for a blizzard warning in the 18 years we've been here. Plow and chains are on the truck.

My first wife left New York (Long Island) for Modesto after a snow storm that forced her to work 3 shifts at the hospital (replacements couldn't get there) then spend 4 hours digging her car out.

She said "you don't have to shovel the fog"
