Tahoe City welcomes the “Pineapple Express” – Rain/Snow 02-06-2015

Okay, so perhaps Tahoe City hasn’t officially welcomed the “Pineapple Express” – rain/snow to the area today, Friday, February 6, 2015, but I am!

Our very dry winter weather has to go, and any type of rain/snow action is a welcome sight.

For those that are not familiar with what a “Pineapple Express” weather pattern is, the local weather stations explain this type of storm as being one loaded with water that originates from the Hawaiian Islands area, which is where the nick-name of the “Pineapple Express” comes from.

Today at around 2:30 p.m. this is what the weather was like in Hurricane Bay on the West Shore of Lake Tahoe in Tahoe City, California! You can see that the rain/snow was really starting to come down and was a welcome sight!

Check out this video showing the weather change from this “Pineapple Express” storm with Laura Allen, Tahoe Real Estate Agent here:

Our day-time temperature this afternoon has dropped from 48 degrees to 32 degrees at the lake level (elevation 6,200 +/- feet) here in Tahoe City, which means the rain, is trying to turn into snow.

We’re expecting heavy rain/snow showers here in Tahoe City area for the next two to three days, but with day-time temperatures in the low 40’s, we’re more likely to have rain here at the lake level rather than snow, but I’m hoping that our snow will stick!

At the higher elevations at our Tahoe ski resorts, they are expecting about four (4) new feet of snow by the time the Pineapple Express storm moves out of our area on Monday, so we’ll see how this winter storm works out.

“Hello Pineapple Express”! Bring on the rain and snow here in Tahoe City, California!
