After weeks of spring-like conditions on the slopes, several inches of snow greeted skiers and boarders Saturday morning as a storm passed through Lake Tahoe.
Heavenly Mountain Resort received 6″-8″ of new snow, while Sierra-at-Tahoe and Kirkwood both reported 7″ overnight.
The National Weather Service issued a winter weather advisory which will last until 8 p.m. on Saturday. During the day another 1″ to 2″ of snow is expected with 2″ to 4″ at elevations above 7,000 ft.
There is a 40% chance of snow on Monday for up to 2″.
Prior to the storm, automated snowpack recordings showed the Sierra at 19% of normal. Snow surveyors will be heading out on Tuesday, March 3 to take their official monthly reading.
