I’ve seen the story many times today; not sure it would have been printed tomorrow. Over a foot of snow fell in the Sierras yesterday, with another one to 2 feet expected by Saturday. And more coming next week. So let’s see what the snow level is by early next week. Last year was historic with its snowfall, so it’s really not a good comparison for this year. Maybe it won’t be the doom and gloom everyone is predicting.

The snow depth may be less but what about the rainfall? In PA we seemed to have an above normal rainfall.
