The new year arrives with mountain conditions far different than a year ago, with the all-important snowpack that provides the bulk of water supplies for western Nevada at near twice-normal levels.
On Monday, the Truckee River Basin’s snowpack was measured at 192 percent of normal for the date, with the Lake Tahoe Basin at 161 percent. That’s compared to 18 and 11 percent for those two places as recorded on Dec. 31, 2011.
