Grand Solar Minimum Update 11/14/17 - Atmospheric River

A roaring "pineapple express" is expected to blast the Sierra Wednesday and Thursday, marking the biggest storm of the season so far.
The warm, moisture-rich storm is fueled by an "atmospheric river" originating in the South Pacific and predicted to bring up to a foot and above of snow at elevations as low as 7,500 feet.

Last year's winter of record-breaking snowfall in the Sierra was distinguishes by a series of these moist systems, and Scott McGuire, a forecaster with the National Weather Service in Reno, says that while the moisture tap of this storm is well-defined, it will be quick hitting, swooping in Wednesday night and heading out Thursday night. http://www.sfgate.com/weather/article/California-Sierra-storm-snow-ski-snowpack-tahoe-12353907.php#photo-14541810
