If I wear my gloves and Balaclava can I go skiing? I promise not to spit on anyone.

Too bad Covid-19 thrives in snow....

More snowpack, maybe there will still be some snow for skiers when this is over.

Snow pack is low for this time of year. The storms should help get us closer to the mean.
A manual survey of snow Wednesday at Echo Summit found the water contained in the snowpack was equal to 16½ inches, or about 66% of the April average for that location.
Statewide, measurements from 130 electronic snow sensors showed a water equivalent of 15.2 inches, or 53% of the April average, the Department of Water Resources said in a statement.

Well, we have had two very good snow years. Isn't it 8 years drought, 2-3 years rain for NorCal? This would be the third year of decent rain, perfectly acceptable to the norm.

I just want to go skiing!
