The Washington Post Says Tahoe Got 12 Feet In One Week

We keep making the national news.

Another storm will be in process when this gets posted Sunday, March 5th. Do we have enough snow? Yes.

How do I know? Several ways.

We have a shed where we store shed stuff. It has a gable roof, the top of which is about 14 feet high. From some angles, the peak of the shed roof is just a raised, snowy ridge in the yard. However, where the driveway is plowed near one end of the shed, the top of the roof peeks out.

As you can see in this photo, I won't be getting anything out of that shed until May. Or June. We've been in Tahoe 32 years. Some of those years have had a lot of snow. But we've never seen this much.

Another reason I know we've had enough snow is that the house is buried up to the second floor. The windows that look out on the deck have a view of nothing but a vertical wall of snow that I hope doesn't avalanche down and break those windows. I remember what it's like to grill pizza on the deck in the sun, but only just barely. 

Yet another way I know we've had enough snow, is that the National Drought Monitor has decided that our part of California no longer has a drought. (The white areas on the map.)

A good thing, this major snow season. Now I'm ready for uninterrupted sunshine.
