It's snowing, but how deep it will be is up in the air

December 12, 2012

The National Weather Service five-day "Storm Tracker" map, as of noon Wednesday, Dec. 12.

It’s not enough to call it a “dump,” per so, but snow is undeniably falling in Mammoth Wednesday.

The National Weather Service is being cagey as to how much precipitation we’ll get, but the five-day precipitation graphic shows as much as 1.25 inches of moisture over the next few days. That translates into about a foot of snow, plus or minus.

This moisture is accompanied by a cold wave. That means the heavy Sierra Cement glop is not a factor.

Whatever snow comes down, it will arrive as powder.
