California’s Sierras are in the midst of an atmospheric river that has been pummeling the region with snow. In the past two weeks, the region has seen as much as 15 feet in places. And the Central Sierra Snow Lab on Donner Pass has measured more than 600 inches of cumulative snowfall for the 2022-2023 season.
