Sierra sees snowiest day of the season from powerful spring storm
UC Berkeley’s Central Sierra Snow Lab says it has a reason to celebrate after a weekend storm brought the most snow to date, topping off a late-season surge. After storms in late February and throughout March, readings at the lab surged from 102% of normal for March 1 to 110% of normal for April 1. Accordingly, lab observers seemed excited by the prospect of precipitation that forecasters said could bring between 9 to 18 inches of new snow Saturday through Sunday.
