It’s Snowing in Tahoe City, and that’s not an April Fool’s Joke! 04-01-2014
This is not an April Fool’s joke; it’s snowing in Tahoe City today, April 1, 2014! It’s been a very long, dry and disappointing winter here in Tahoe City. The lack of snow storms were few and far apart. Just as I’m about to bring out my deck furniture last week it started to snow.
Over the last four days it has snowed off and on, but last night by far was the most impressive. Take a look at these two pictures of the same back yard area.
One is from February 2014. I had to take photos of this area as I have never seen our West Shore – Tahoe City home without snow in our back yard in February. In fact, we typically have snow in this area as late as June, so it was unsettling to see it bare this year. It remained uncovered for most of February and March this year.
The second photo is how this same area looked today, Tuesday, April 1, 2014. Yes, we have received about ten inches (10”) of new snow here on the West Shore of Lake Tahoe at the lake level of 6,200 feet above sea level.
Our late spring snow is good news for our water shortage, and it’s just enough to entice skiers and snowboarders back up here to Lake Tahoe for some great spring skiing.
To give you an idea of the new snow the resorts have received, the Alpine Meadows Ski Resort has received 3.5 feet of new snow with this storm, and Squaw Valley has received over 5 feet of new snow, unfortunately Homewood has closed for the season so there are no new totals to report for them, but Northstar Ski Resort is reporting in 7 inches of new snow, which should make for a nice weekend of spring skiing!
Be sure to check out your favorite place to ski for the specific ski resort information on their websites for current operation status and hours of operation. Now is the time to plan a last minute ski trip to Lake Tahoe, and have late winter – early spring skiing fun!
Take advantage of the late winter snow and head on up to Tahoe City to enjoy the new April snow this weekend for spring skiing and snowboarding!
