In Central California, the Sierra stands at 200% of normal for snowpack average to date.

This year, more frequent, smaller storms — in combination with colder temperatures — have allowed the snow to stick better, as opposed to last year, when the snowpack completely melted between snowstorms, exposing dry ground again.

“The snow lover in me is very excited to see the snow come in, and I’m hopeful it means that we’re going to have a good season. The skeptic in me, and the person that worked through last year, is a little bit more hesitant,” Schwartz admitted.“We don’t have to have every storm drop feet of snow. They could still be four to six inches at a time.

Snowfall totals for the highest elevations could end up in the one- to two-foot range this week. More widespread snow totals will be less than a foot.and a snowy weekend, another round is affecting the Rockies today through Wednesday. “Snow totals from this second system are still favoring widespread 6+ inches of accumulation, with the highest terrain seeing upwards of a foot,” the National Weather Service office in Grand Junction said.
