Mwah hahahaha! You thought it was spring but the weather has other plans! ❄️❄️❄️ We are expecting some late-season snow this weekend (April 26 & 27, 2025) above 6000 feet, most of which will fall Saturday night into Sunday morning. We're currently expecting 6-12" at the lab.

5/13/25 9:45am Update: A fresh blanket of white covers the lab study site after we received 5.9" (15 cm) of late spring #snow in the last day. Other than some flurries today, there's no snow in the forecast, so this could be our last snowfall of the season. #CAwx #CAwater
