We call it the Pineapple express in the ski industry. It's what makes Tahoe and the area around it such a winter heaven. We'll get a new storm 4 or 5 times in a month or so and then clear skies for a long time after. It's sometimes dump 20 or more foot over the I 80 Freeway. My drinking water and fishing in the summer depend on this here where I live. Can't wait for it to hit. Looking like this will be a good one and I may be up in the mountains Boarding next week.
