kevin_standleeYes, I know summer doesn't start in the northern hemisphere until June 20, but Memorial Day is typically considered the "ceremonial" beginning of summer, so I checked to see if the snow on the mountains had made it this far.
So there is a tiny bit of snow still clinging to the peaks of the Pah Rah Mountains. It probably won't make it all the way to the solstice, though.
I know from when I went to Reno on Saturday that there is still quite a bit of snow visible in the Sierra Nevada mountains, and there was at least one ski resort up there (Olympic Valley) that was open yesterday for their final day of operations for the season.
Lake Tahoe is full, which is great news for our water supply here this year, as Fernley's aquifer is ultimately dependent upon water from Lake Tahoe via the Truckee River and the Truckee Canal.
