April in the Eastern Sierra

I headed to Truckee to catch the Union Pacific 4-8-8-4 Big Boy going east from Sacramento/Roseville over Donner Pass. The conditions continued to worsen and the train was re-routed back via the more northerly and lower elevation Feather River Route. Being from L.A. and not knowing the roads, the ongoing heavy snow, road clearance and closure situations, etc., I decided to not try to chase the train.
Maybe it's me but this doesn't look like "Up to 3" of new snow accumulation."

Thank you. Most of my trips have been in the fall color season or passing through in the summer. Quite a bit of seasonal differences.
