Strong winds came across the Sierras last night with gusts over 50mph that brought cold enough air aloft to provide a dusting to an inch of snow around Reno early this morning. The mountains got 4-6in of snow overnight with another shot of snow possible later this evening. The radar image from overnight is above.
This begins an active period of weather with plenty of cold air sliding into the western United States and causing widespread snowfall and rain (see other image) over the next 10 days. This will give the resort ski season one last good shot to stay open another 2-3 weeks...hopefully.
