Above 8,000 ft. we could pick up 3-4 feet with this storm with lots of rain at lake level,and#8221; the websiteand#8217;s Monday morning update reads. and#8220;The snow levels crash down to lake level on Saturday with moist flow continuing behind the cold front. Itand#8217;s hard to say how much snow falls in the lower elevations based on the timing of the snow levels coming down, but 1-2 feet possible above 7,000 feet and up to a foot at lake level.
