The 2021-22 La Niña rainy season in northern California has so far been erratic af, but in Sacramento we are still holding at about 230% above average. Goodness knows we can still snatch drought from the jaws of inundation, but the longer the precipitation lasts, the better things look. We just broke a December snow record in the northern Sierra that had held for 50 years:
The Sierra has officially beat a snow record for this month that was set more than 50 years ago.
As of Tuesday morning, the new December record is at 202.1 inches. According to the UC Berkeley Central Sierra Snow Lab, the previous record was set in 1970 at 179 inches.
Even more snow is expected to come to Northern California Tuesday night into Wednesday.
Although the previous record is from 1970, that year is also the first time they began keeping track of Sierra snow. It’s possible there may have been years before 1970 with more snow that wasn’t recorded.
