So as we know the spin of the earth causes the atmosphere to move east .

A week ago the computer models had the EVIL high pressure system off California leaving NOW and a MASSIVE multi storm dumping for a about a week all over the Sierras.

Not gonna happen.

Right now SHASTA area gonna get allot of snow and at 3000 feet ETNA CA with have a possible foot or 2 of snow by 26 December.

It will storm in the Shasta area to the coast and north for AT LEAST the next 10 days.

Then getting to Susanville - Yuba - Truckee storm coming this weekend with snow and rain to 3000 feet with the major snow at 5000-6000 feet from 24-friday 26 DEC and (todays estimate) at least 2 feet total 5000-6000 feet in Truckee SAT 27 DEC

Mammoth to Truckee similar amounts and decreasing from there.

Snow levels of 3 inches to a foot at 3000 feet FOR THE ENTIRE SIERRA NEVADA MOUNTAIN RANGE AROUND CHRISTMAS.

That's from Tehachapi in Kern County to Oregon and beyond ! !

BUT BUT this storm has been LOSING STRENGTH (confidence) since it was first forecasted around the 10 DEC. So moisture amount predictions have been decreasing.

Don't worry there is a abnormal low pressure system spooling up near the Sea of JAPAN headed here before year end which if it hits like predicted today will be a major dumping state wide .

Forecast states last storms end the 26th till January next year.
Going to stay cold for the week.

Storm to hit day before or on 25 DEC will be fast and VERY COLD. Expect lots of high wind gusts. Snow estimates are going higher PLUS temps going colder !

Evil high pressure ridge will build off California coast till AT LEAST end of year.
