Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeThe weather pattern changed on December 12th, as a series of upper-level troughs began moving through the central California interior. These troughs brought several days of precipitation to the region, as well as a push of unseasonably cold air. The first storm brought up to an inch of rain to the central and southern San Joaquin Valley, and heavy snow to the Southern Sierra Nevada and Tehachapi Mountains. Wofford Heights, near the southern end of the Sierra Nevada received a foot of new snow on December 15th, as did Camp Nelson, further north in Tulare County. 1648 PST: Ponderosa Basin 18 inches of snow so far. Locations in the higher terrain saw very high snowfall totals with this storm. Between 2 to 4 feet of snow fell at locations such as Tenaya Lake, Poison Ridge, Lower Kibbie Ridge, Pascoes, Wet Meadows, and Casa Vieja Meadows. Despite the low snow levels, little snow fell in the Sierra Nevada foothills. This storm also brought strong winds to the Kern Mountains and the Deserts with peak wind gusts reported between 50 to 55 mph.
