MAJOR blizzard will pummel the California Sierra Nevadas and Coastal Ranges
An historic blizzard will pummel parts of the Sierra Nevada and Coastal Mountain Ranges of central and northern California and Oregon over the next few days, with 3-6 FEET of snow expected and 100 mph wind gusts! The massive trough responsible for this storm can be seen in the water vapor loop below from Thursday afternoon, with an initial jet streak already producing heavy snow over the mountains of northern California and southern Oregon.
A geographical perspective of the watches and warnings associated with this system can be seen below, with the blizzard warnings shaded in black. Dean Schoeneck of TornadoVideos.net will be documenting this storm from a hotel in Mount Shasta, which lies at around 4000 feet above sea level in the mountains of Northern California. Dean is expecting to be located at ground zero for this blizzard, and will likely be trapped at his hotel for days! He'll continuously be adding video updates to the blog from his location, so stay tuned!
