‘Robust’ storm brings snow to Sierra Nevada
Significant snow falling in the Sierra Nevada over the next few days could be the region’s last big snow dump of the season, showcasing a dramatic rebound for the snowpack that provides a significant portion of California’s water reserves through the rest of the year. Snow started falling in the Sierra Nevada, the California mountain range that straddles the state’s border with Nevada, on Sunday, and plenty more is expected through Tuesday. Elevations above 4,000 feet are expected to record one to four feet of snow, while the highest peaks over 8,000 feet could pick up five feet.
