The first wave of moisture associated with a winter storm passed through the area last, leaving a disappointing 6-8" of new snow above 9,000 ft in the Mammoth Lakes area. A stronger storm with higher snow levels will drop south from the Lake Tahoe area- NWS forecasters told me to expect another foot of snow today and night with another foot or more of snow tomorrow above 9,000 ft.
Daytime highs will be in the upper 30's above 8,000 ft. Higher elevations will be mild with daytime highs reaching the mid 30's. Snow accumulations today of 12" or more are expected above 8,500 ft. Strong winds will continue through most of the day.
