NATIONAL WEATHER ADVISORY

The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning for the Sierra Nevada through Monday night at midnight. 

A Winter Storm Advisory will then be in effect for the Sierra above 5000 feet through Tuesday 4 AM.

Snow levels range from 3500 through 5500 feet.    An additional two inches to one foot of snow accumulation is expected above 4000 feet.

Winds of fifteen to thirty mph will continue, with gusts ranging from forty to sixty mph over the crest of the Sierra.

Cold air will move into the region from Tuesday through Thursday.

In the central valley, temperatures on Wednesday and Thursday morning will range from the upper 20's to 33 degrees.

Another storm system will impact the Sierra from Thursday evening into Friday.
 
Unsettled weather will continue through the weekend.

A Winter Storm Warning means that significant snow is inevitable and will occur within the issued time frame.

A Winter Storm Advisory is lighter but means that periods of snow will make travel difficult.

AND AS OF 7.30 A.M. there is no snow on the ground, some sprinkle of rain and Dish Network Subscribers have no signal......unless you consider 10 seconds here and 30 seconds there a signal.  "They're working on it!"
