Long range forecast / discussion...November 11 to 14
--Late next week and weekend, more Pacific storms may start affecting the area with clouds, cooling, and possible showers (and snow).
--WINTER OUTLOOK; For the Tahoe region, we expect heavier than average snowfall, with most of it from January 1st onward, though we do expect some heavy snow to start falling this month and in December. Temperatures are expected to be near average, with some wide variations and extreme cold spells. We will be adding more detail to this as we go along. CM
