The episode as NWS REV wrote it up.
The second of a pair of winter storms that was directed a bit more south of Lake Tahoe along the eastern Sierra into Mono county. This system brought additional snow amounts to much of the Sierra late Sunday into Monday with periods of lower elevation/valley rain, high elevation snow, and gusty winds. The main area of focus shifted from the Tahoe basin to Mono county where the White Mountains looked to get 2-3 inches of new snow while Mammoth Mountain was projected to receive another 5-10 inches of fresh snow. Snow levels hovered around 7000 feet for much of this second winter storm, then lowered to near 6000 feet towards the tail end of the storm late Monday. ECMWF EFI signals for CAPE across western Nevada showed higher instability with this second storm that indicated a better spillover potential and for showers to persist well into Monday afternoon and evening. Storm liquid precipitation totals with this storm was projected to be about 1.50-2.00 inches along the span of the Sierra crest that translated to another 1-2 plus feet of snowfall for elevations above 8000 feet with this second storm system.
