Storms during the last week of January brought snow to valley floors in western Nevada. Snowfall in the mountains increased basin snowpack percentages in the Eastern Sierra from 36-53% of median before the storm to 75-82% on February 1. Other basins in western Nevada saw smaller snowpack increases. Unfortunately, the storm mostly bypassed the Upper Humboldt and other basins in northeast Nevada.
