Talk about a drastic change. The weather went from being hot to snow falling in the Sierra.

Our first touch of winter are conjuring thoughts of an early start to ski season if not another great snow season. However, it's hard to produce consecutive record snow seasons.

As far as precipitation goes, they remain neutral, believing we have equal chances of below average, average and above average rain and snow.
