What qualifies as a Winter Storm Warning? When a storm is forecasted to dump 6+ inches within a 12 hour period. That’s what we are looking at in Lake Tahoe this first week of October.
This storm is looking strong and somewhat pissed off. It has some of the characteristics of a standard mid-winter Gulf of Alaska storm and it’s gonna hit us like one. This will be the first cold storm of the season in Lake Tahoe and I think it has a lot of people fired up.
