Near-record breaking snow has fallen on Tahoe so far this winter, with homeowners and visitors alike awed and at times overwhelmed by the elements. The Central Sierra Snow Lab near Donner Pass measured 48.33 feet of snow for the year on March 6, surpassing 2017—the last memorable high-snow year—by 0.56 feet.

Here are nine photos of Tahoe, sourced from residents living in the area.
