Who were my neighbors when I lived up around 7,000ft, we were just talking about this snow in the Sierras. They have been out of the country for a few weeks and heard nothing of this. We used to get about that much snow, about 30 - 40ft of it in a winter, sometimes half of it all at once like this. In trying to describe this to my friends just now, I reminded them of one of our more snowy winters, of which the memory is still strong, and then said,
"it's that, all at once, times three."
And they were amazed and starting to look it up right away.
Perhaps this is the kind of thing the Donner party experienced. 
and possible flooding. I know there's already been some flooding
On a lighter note, a ghost got buried in the snow.
I've seen 36 inches in 24 hours. I've seen 45 inches from one storm. But I ain't never seen snow like that. Holy crap!
