#6 The National Weather Service for the Carson Valley just posted this weather advisory this morning:
"A major pattern change is shaping up from Thursday afternoon onward. A warm Pacific storm will bring heavy rain and high elevation snow potential, along with strong winds, Thursday night through Saturday night. Please find additional details in our Forecaster Discussion on weather.gov/reno."

So the massive snowpack will get heavy rain in mid-to lower elevations creating flooding runoff potential, and ice sheeting over soft snow, perfect case for avalanches. All afternoon yesterday while my wife was riding her horse at the stable at the base of the Tahoe Sierra's, we heard the booming of explosive charges as they set off preventative, controlled avalanches along the Sierra Crests.
