Misty Morning, Snow on the Mountain

May 11, 2022

The thermometer read 32 degrees at 8am PST and low clouds poured over the mountain. This means that the Central Valley also likely was under cloud cover.

Although the forecast made no mention of snow or rain, it was clear from the conditions yesterday that something was brewing. The NWS put up the one cryptic map on May 9 and 10 on their Hanford site that said there would be inclement weather in central California on May 11, but after I posted it on this blog yesterday, they removed it from their site.

There was a dusting of snow on the mountain tops this morning. Today they are admitting to thunderstorms in the Sierras on the Hanford site, but the Weather Channel won’t post this information, saying sunny and a tiny percent chance of rain for this area.

Conditions are very wintery on this spring day, with cold temperatures throughout California and precipitation in the mountains and perhaps other places. If you are in a place with rain (anywhere in the west), maybe you can mention it in the comments, since the weather media won’t do it!
