5 inches of rain is not unheard of but 4 feet of snow sure is - - -

Sierra Nevada snowpack stands at 165 percent of average, a level not seen since 1995 and one that puts the 2010-2011 winter near the top of the record lists.
A staggering 740 inches of snow have fallen at Donner Summit this winter -- one of only four years since 1900 in which totals exceeded 700 inches, according to the Department of Water Resources. The average snowfall for the spot is about 400 inches.
