It’s time to hope for a “March miracle.” We badly need rain and won’t get much — if any — over the next week.

‘March Miracle’ Continues as Several Storms Queue Up for California
/in California and the U.S., Home Headline, Media Coverage /by Mike Lee /AccuWeatherby Alex SosnowskiAfter an absence of major storms for much of the winter, the ‘March Miracle,’ in terms of wet weather, seems likely to continue next week in California.
The storm that brought drenching rain and yards of snow to the Sierra Nevada early this week was still lingering as of Wednesday night but will diminish over the next couple of days.
A lull in storms is forecast late this week to this weekend, but a new series of storms is destined to impact much of the West next week with more rain and mountain snow from Monday to Wednesday.

The most recent statewide storm started during the weekend and, despite diminishing, snow snowfall and showers were still occurring here and there.
In the Sierra Nevada, Homewood Mountain Resort on the west shore of Lake Tahoe reported late Tuesday a storm total of 114 inches (289.5 centimeters) of snow at its summit and 74 inches (188 centimeters) at the base.

Continuous snow at Lake Tahoe since Saturday morning has added 13% to the snowpack, according to Jeff Anderson, water supply specialist for the Natural Resources Conservation Service in Nevada.
“To gain back that amount this time of year is really hard,” Anderson told the Tribune.
