I'd like to find a database that contains day-by-day snowfall data for
Lake Tahoe for the past season 2007-2008. My attempts at Google
searching for this have not yet been successful. Any ideas?

Thanks . . .

The California water people have a network of snow sensors
scattered over the Sierra including several in the Tahoe area.

They used to have the data online. I don't have a bookmark handy.

In article <siegman-58B6DD...@nntp.stanford.edu>,

I think both Squaw Valley and Kirkwood have a list for that.

Suprisingly enough, the Squaw one seems to be largely
reality-based as far as I can tell, most unusual for
a ski area.

This site has pretty good information:

http://www.wcc.nrcs.usda.gov/snotel/California/california.html

or

http://www.wcc.nrcs.usda.gov/snotel/Nevada/nevada.html

for the Nevada side.

Thanks to all -- the Squaw Valley site has indeed exactly what I wanted
(at two different elevations, moreover) --- and I'll get to the others
eventually.

[This is of course related to the "science in everyday life/roadside
snowfall stratigraphy" posts I put up earlier. Sure wish I'd taken a
few quick photos when I was up there.]
