The storm last week brought us a couple of days of rain. And when the clouds cleared...? SNOW
Here's what Freel Peak, Tahoe's highest mountain, looked like.
3 Reasons.
One: Snow melts slowly while rain runs off. When snow melts it has time to soak into the ground, which makes it less dry than ground where rain fell and ran off quickly. Water-soaked ground is a good thing.
Two: When the mountains are white with snow, it's good for the ski economy. People see it and start planning their trips to the mountains, booking their hotels and rental cars.
Three: It is a psychological boost to everyone to see that, despite climate change, global warming, and drought, we can have white mountains on the Autumnal Equinox!
