TRUCKEE -- With little to chance to catch their breath, Lake Tahoe residents and visitors braced Sunday for another wave of blizzard conditions promising more than 5 feet of new snow over the next 72 hours.
During that span,"total snow accumulations of 2 to 3 feet, except 4 to 6 feet above 7000 feet," NWS forecasters warned. After years of drought, the Sierra has had an overabundance of snow this year. Many areas at the higher elevations have already gotten 34 feet this year. "A double shot of higher snowfall rates will occur Monday afternoon into the evening and again late Tuesday morning into Tuesday night," the weather service warned."Through this duration there is a higher chance of significant snow accumulations upwards of 4 to 6 feet of snowfall will be possible along the Sierra crest."
Care Flight, which provides ambulance service by plane and helicopter, said the dead included the pilot, a flight nurse, a flight paramedic, a patient and a patient's family member.
