Based on Matt's comments from SS, the 2" comment from Truckee, the total miss on the forecast, and the prevailing wind directions yesterday, I am hypothesizing that this could be "lake effect" from the east side, driven by the southern "Tonopah Low" that is currently centered over the Caliente/Panaca/Modena region. A rather unusual event, if so, to get this much out of it. Perfect combination of air mass characteristics.

It seems to be moving over us in a NW to SE direction though...and has been all night and morning. Strange.
