Parts of Lake Tahoe experienced record-breaking low temperatures at the same time California state water officials announced one of the largest snowpacks ever measured in the region – 722 inches as of April 3. Last week, record-breaking low temperatures were observed for three days in a row in South Lake Tahoe, plummeting to bone-chilling lows of nine, seven, and eight degrees on April 3, April 4, and April 5, respectively. The previous April 3 record was set in 1999 at 11 degrees, while the previous April 4 record was set that same year at 13 degrees, and the April 5 record was set in 2003 at 15 degrees, said Justin Collins, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service’s Reno office.
