The storm that drenched Fresno on Saturday also set a single-day snowfall record for the season on Sunday in the Sierra Nevada.
“Did anyone have the snowiest day of the 2023/2024 season being in May on their winter bingo card?” the University of California, Berkeley Central Sierra Snow Lab asked on the social platform X.
The 26.4 inches of snow beat the second snowiest day of the season — March 3 — by 2.6 inches, according to the lab.

Treacherous driving conditions on Saturday forced the closure of several highways near Lake Tahoe, including Interstate 80 over the Donner Summit.
Flood advisories were issued for parts of the Bay Area, where up to an inch of rain fell while temperatures dipped into the low 40s, the National Weather Service said. Wind gusts reaching 40 mph were reported Saturday near San Francisco.
About one-third of rain fell in Fresno on Saturday, bringing the water-year total since Oct. 1 to 9.99 inches, according to NWS records.

A warming trend is expected this week with temperatures 10 degrees above normal by Sunday afternoon, NWS Hanford says.
