Start waxing those skis and snowboards, it's snowing in California and most of the west should see some precipitation this week. To the immense excitement (and relief?) of Tahoe skiers, it's currently snowing throughout the Tahoe basin. According to Open Snow's Tahoe forecaster Bryan Allegretto, the heaviest snow will fall today with the snow at lake level, with 1-2 feet falling at the higher elevations. As the storm moves west, the Northern Rockies, the Tetons, and even Colorado should see cold temperatures and double digit snowfall.
