Weather Briefing by Chris Smallcomb

Chris Smallcomb, meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Reno, recorded a snowpack and weather outlook briefing. He covers the winter-so-far and puts it in a historical context. He also gives an outlook for the spring-summer weather and what that means for the running season. Also, he's giving you all the info you need to stay weather informed.
