Wow. That's 30-55 inches above 7500 feet through tomorrow, with 10-18 inches at lake level! The stormy pattern in the West shows no signs of stopping, either. The Tahoe area had a near record snowy March and April looks no different. The storm moving through right now is massive and slow-moving.

115 is a lot more than 72.

We had some gusts like that with the Santa Anas when I used to live next to the mountains. Our house had a cement tile roof, luckily we didn't lose any tiles but some neighbors of ours did. Almost blew part of our fence down though.

Note that it says 115mph "over the ridges" and in the city they should only see 40-50mph wind gusts.

Here is an idea of what 100-115mph gusts can do though (these pics are from Hurricane Charley in Orlando):

Luckily they do not build cities or plant non-evergreen trees on those ridges. Either way...I would not want to be up there when those gusts came through! :eek:

yea, its amazing what the weather does in this area. It can be sunny and in the 60s in Reno, but about 10miles west it can be snowing and super windy
edit:a lot of the ski areas had their snowiest month(March) EVER
