Where's the Snow?

According to the weather channel they received 4 (get that) Four feet of snow in Nevada east of Tahoe. I can vouch for it. Here's an interesting quote I found in my Tahoe guide book. I have posted about this before and wanted to get the facts right. :blink:
In April of 1982, Lake Tahoe became the focus of the nation. An avalanche at Alpine Meadows leveled the ski lodge and several homes, claiming the lives of seven people. A young ski patrol member, Anna Conrad, miraculously survived the avalanche, buried beneath tons of snow for six whoe days and nights.

Sierra Snow

One of my visits to the Sierras I got caught in a white-out trying to cross Dead Man's Pass. I was up there for at least 24 hours confined to my car. What a nightmare. I also think this storm would be too much of a co-incidence not to link it with the tsunami.
