Over the next two days, forecasters expect a cold storm to temporarily reblanket the Sierra Nevada with several feet of snow. The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning through 5 p.m. Wednesday for the Northern Sierra above 5,000 feet. While the storm will bring yet another round of April snow after a historically warm, dry March for California, it’s not expected to do much lasting good for the state’s meager snowpack, which sits at 18% of normal for this time of year. “My guess is if you look at the snowpack analysis on Thursday, this will show up as just a blip on the curve,” said Chris Smallcomb, a meteorologist with the weather service’s Reno office.
