Following on from the discussion elsethread about US weather reporting,
I thought people might find this interesting:

From CNN dated 22 November:

"An unusual type of storm nicknamed an "insider slider" blanketed
Southern California mountains with up to 3 feet of snow and even coated
desert areas with white.
[...]
The storm developed in British Columbia and swept into Nevada before
reaching California. It was called an inside slider because of its rare
track into Southern California from the northeast instead of the typical
route off the Pacific Ocean."
