And here's a map of snow water equivalent as a percent of Nov. 24 median.
Places in red measured their lowest Nov. 24 snow depth on record. Some of the sites are low elevation and have many years of zero snow depth on this date, but there's a number of sites at higher elevation that should be covered in snow at this point.

Meanwhile, dozens of weather stations throughout the Rocky Mountains have measured less snow at this point of the season than any year on record. Utah’s Park City Mountain has gotten only 5 inches of snow this season.

Tahoe and Colorado are mostly dry. Here’s where you can still ski out West
While many Tahoe ski resorts delay opening day, a surprising corner of the West has experienced its snowiest start to the season in decades.

Lee Canyon, an hour west of Las Vegas, has received more snow than California’s Donner Pass so far this season. Arizona Snowbowl in Flagstaff, Ariz., is having its snowiest November since 2004, with nearly five feet of powder.

After the removal of small dams and the addition of fish ladders, salmon have been seen swimming further up a Bay Area creek than at anytime in decades.

These volatile patterns are really a headache from a forecast communication standpoint, especially for post-holiday travel. Forecast apps will probably shift back and forth quite a bit in the coming days. One model simulation might show a major mountain snowstorm, while another keeps the region dry.

Either way, big change from this fall.
The weather pattern across North America this month has been fairly consistent, with a anomalous low-pressure system in the Gulf of Alaska and an anomalous high-pressure system over the Rocky Mountains.
The two pressure systems swap places after Thanksgiving.

What will this mean for CA? That's tricky, as it depends greatly on the *exact* position of ridge. This will probably be a drier period--but temperatures could range from quite warm (if directly under ridge) to quite chilly (if under cold NWly flow east of ridge). TBD. #CAwx

Weather pattern change to put CA in a precarious position post-Thanksgiving. Maps shows the "standard deviation" (spread) amongst weather models Dec. 1. There is more uncertainty about the atmospheric pattern over CA than anywhere else in the Northern Hemisphere! Could be cold/wet or less cold & dry

Impressive 24-hour precipitation totals in Southern California from the latest storm. Downtown Los Angeles (Dodger Stadium) picked up more than 2 inches of rain between 11 a.m. Thursday and 11 a.m. Friday.
L.A. has now received 5.52 inches of rain this month, the city's wettest November since 1967.
