The UC Berkeley Central Sierra Snow Lab in Soda Springs tweeted Sunday that, in 24 hours between Saturday and Sunday mornings, it received more than 10 inches of snow -- a number they expected to go higher before Sunday was over.

"Realistically, we had much more than that, but rain between periods of snow increased the snow density and lowered the height. More snow is expected through today and tomorrow!"

The lab's Twitter page called the snow "Sierra cement (dense moisture-laden snow)."
