Big snow, rain totals
Winter storm leaves impressive mark

Now that the winter storm has moved east, let’s see how much rain and snow it left across the West.

The massive winter storm left impressive totals, in both forms, rain, and snow. Starting with the rain, Sacramento this month has received 4.71, which is 135 percent of its average for December. Over the weekend there were 1.71 inches recorded! Auburn, located to the northeast of the capital, there were 2.63 inches recorded. Paradise, the city, which was badly affected by wildfires in recent years, received 3.57 inches since Friday morning.

As far as the snow, the highest peaks won the biggest powder price. Boreal got 54 inches of snow, that’s 4.5 feet of snow! Sugar Bowl and Sierra at Tahoe have received 53 inches of snow since Friday morning. Palisades was not too far behind with 52 inches.

Some ski resorts, like Heavenly in South Lake Tahoe, recorded a very impressive amount, 100 inches of snow since Friday morning. That is 8.3 feet of snow! Over a foot taller than Shaq O’Neal!

Check out how the wind blew snow strongly across the peak as the snow lifts were on hold to keep skiers and staff safe.

The image shows an intense tropical cyclone over the western Pacific, east of Taiwan and the Philippines. The centre of the system is depicted as a light purple and white vortex with a clearly visible eye, surrounded by a ring of red and orange areas indicating the strongest wind speeds. A white arrow marks the typhoon’s predicted track towards the north-west, in the direction of Taiwan. To the west of the storm lie the Philippines, with the cities of Manila and Cebu; to the north of these lies Taiwan, with Taipei. Further west, the Chinese coast, including Hong Kong, and parts of Vietnam can be seen. The coloured wind map shows predominantly green areas outside the storm’s core, indicating significantly weaker winds. White streamlines illustrate the typhoon’s anti-clockwise circulation in the Northern Hemisphere. The highest wind speeds are concentrated around the eye of the cyclone.
