A relentless winter at Lake Tahoe has now etched its way into the history books as the Sierra's second-snowiest on record
Working inside a nearly 18-foot-deep snow pit at the UC Berkeley Central Sierra Snow Lab, from left, Shaun Joseph, Claudia Norman, Helena Middleton take measurements of snow temperatures ahead of a weather storm on March 9, 2023, in Soda Springs, Calif. The more than 55 feet of snow that a dozen storms have dumped on the mountains along the Nevada-California line this season has etched its way into the history books as the second snowiest on record at the Central Sierra Snow Lab. RENO, Nev.
The final day of the Nevada high school state skiing championships was canceled. Roofs collapsed under the weight of snow and schools shuttered for days. Interstate 80 closed several times between Reno and Sacramento. For this winter to overtake the record in 1951-52, another 145 inches would have to fall — unlikely, but not out of the question.
The lab doesn’t formally recognize those numbers because they were from slightly different locations using a different methodology.
