At 1300 feet, in the Sierra Foothills (California), we rarely get snow, but this wet winter has seen close to 100 inches of rain, which creates its own set of problems. The higher elevations, where all the famous ski resorts are located, have almost 200 percent of normal snowfall. Driving up there is winding your vehicle through high-walled tunnels.
Good luck and happy planting, fellow gardeners!
