'Miracle March' needed to boost Sierra snowpack
March, generally the last big month for snowfall in the Sierra, is here with the mountain snowpack still substantially less than what it should be.
Rain and high-elevation snow were expected overnight into today, with another storm aiming for the Reno-Tahoe area later this week. During what is the third dry winter in a row, every bit helps, but experts say chances for a late-season turnaround are diminishing daily.
