brought 0.75 to 1.5 inches of liquid precipitation to the Sierra Nevada with the snow level running around 6500 feet during the evening of
February 4 lowering to around 4000 feet by time the precipitation tapered off during the evening of February 5. SNOTEL estimates

to the showery nature of the precipitation by the time it arrived in Kern County, but many stations picked up between 1 and 3 tenths of
an inch of liquid precipitation. Traffic was paced along Interstate 5 by the evening a February 5 as light snow began to accumulate along
the Tejon Pass. This system also brought some strong wind gusts to the Mohave Desert slopes with several stations reporting gusts

pushed into the area during the afternoon of February 5, scattered thunderstorms broke out over the San Joaquin Valley with a few
reports of trees being knocked down by strong thunderstorm wind gusts and pea sized hail being reported.

A cold upper trough dropped southward from the Pacific Northwest into the Great Basin on February 14. This system was moisture
deficient with precipitation amounts in the Sierra Nevada and Tehachapi mountains generally a tenth of an inch or less of liquid
precipitation. However, strong pressure gradients accompanying the cold front which pushed through the area during the day produced
period of increased winds across the area. Several stations in the Kern County Mountains and Deserts measured wind gusts exceeding
60 mph. Several highways were proactively closed across the Kern County Mountains and Deserts due to the strong winds. Increased
winds also impacted the San Joaquin Valley where several stations measured gusts between 35 and 45 mph. Although impacts from

February 2023
A large cold upper low pressure system dropped slowly southward off the California coast on February 24 and 25. This system brought
1.5 to 3 inches of liquid precipitation between the early morning of February 24 and the late morning of February 25 to the Sierra Nevada
and adjacent foothills as well as to the Tehachapi Mountains and the San Joaquin Valley. This was a cold storm with snow levels
lowering from around 3000 feet during the morning of February 24 lowering to 1500 to 2000 feet during the morning of February 25 with
some locations near 1000 feet picking up some light snowfall while higher elevations generally picked up between 2 and 4 feet of new
snowfall. The snowfall resulted in several mountain roads being closed for extended periods of time. In addition several reports of
flooding were observed in the San Joaquin Valley and the lower Sierra foothills resulting in additional road closures. The low moved
across southern California during the evening of February 25 and east of the area during the morning of February 26.

California Highway Patrol reported 2 large boulders in the west bound lane of SR 180 just to the northeast of Squaw Valley.
Another cold upper trough moved across central California on February 27 and 28 which resulted in another period of widespread
precipitation across the area. The snow level was between 3000 and 4000 feet or much of this event which resulted in heavy snowfall for
the Sierra Nevada where several SNOTELs picked up an estimated 2 to 3 feet of new snowfall. Below the snow line, much of the San
Joaquin Valley picked up between a quarter to a half inch of additional rainfall over already saturated soil while the Sierra foothills picked
up between a half inch and an inch of combined liquid precipitation. Several roads in the mountains remained closed as a result of the
continued snowfall across the area. The precipitation ended by the morning of March 1 as a colder and drier airmass pushed into central
California.
