An extremely-dangerous winter storm has arrived in California and will unload feet of snow, powerful winds and rare blizzard conditions in the state’s mountains through the weekend.
So while Texas is basically entirely on fire, California is getting New York’s weather.
Why? It’s pretty accurate. And actually already 167 mph wind gust recorded at Pallasaids in Tahoe. Forecast is for 12’ of snow. Highways completely shut down. Etc.
And yep! Was just awakened at 4am by a massive clap the shook the house and lasted maybe 15 seconds. We rarely get hit by thunder and this was massive.

Highest from Palisades is now 191. There’s also been “thundersnow.” Shit’s wild.
Wow for 191mph.

Twelve FEET? Like, two six-foot- tall people standing on top of each other?? 🤯
That’s up in the mountains. The most any resident will see is ~2 to 3ft. These figures are always over the top.
2 feet of snow is no joke, especially in an area without a sufficient fleet of plows.
