given a pleasant treat as the Martin Luther King holiday weekend
came to a close in the form of a foot of fresh snow. Snow fell
steadily throughout the day Monday, and by Tuesday morning resorts
were reporting accumulations of 6 to 13 inches of new snow.
Snow remains in the forecast throughout the week and cold air
from the North mixes with Pacific moisture over the Sierra.
Conditions
in Lake Tahoe couldn’t be better with resort base depths
currently measuring up to 9 feet. Recently, the region was ranked
the number one destination booked on Orbitz.com for travel this
winter.
