If you asked me in February my prediction for the rest of winter I would have told you to put your skis away and get your hiking boots out. You never know what can happen in the Sierra’s and what Mother Nature will do. We are so fortunate for so many reasons with the recent storms and what is coming tomorrow.

As the Tahoe Basin prepares for another winter storm, this month appears to have the makings of a “Miracle March.”
On March 1, snowpack in the Tahoe Basin was around 28 percent of the median water content, according to the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS).
After weathering several storms — including one last week that brought more than 4 feet of snow in 48 hours to some Lake Tahoe ski resorts — the percentage has jumped to 63 percent of the median as of March 20.
“It’s more than doubled,” said Jeff Anderson, NRCS hydrologist. “We’ve seen a great recovery, not quite up to the 1991 standards of a Miracle March, but certainly headed in that direction, and with another big storm coming we could reach that level.”
