10 feet

Snow could pile as high as a one-story building for some in the US as others get a rare white Christmas

Good. I hope it snows 100 feet in the mountains and replenishes all the reservoirs out there. They need it.

Sup Grub,
I totally agree.
I grew up skiing Tahoe where this snow is coming and 40 years later I have yet to see 20+ foot snow banks. It felt like walls on both sides of the city streets..nowhere to put the snow so they kept blowing it higher and higher.

I was thinking about this thread and was curious how much snow the area got, so I did a bit of googling. Northstar at Tahoe (a ski resort on the north side of Lake Tahoe) got 117" of snow Xmas week. Also, the UC-Berkeley Central Sierra Snow Lab on Donner Pass (just west of Lake Tahoe) received a record 193.7" of snow this December; they say they could break 200" for the month. Amazing.
