The most precipitation in one month was {{convert|23.65|inch|mm|1}} in December 1955, and the most in 24 hours was {{convert|5.21|inch|mm|1}} on February 1, 1963. The wettest calendar year has been 1997 with {{convert|54.62|in|mm|1}} and the driest 1976 with {{convert|16.04|in|mm}},<ref>{{Cite web |title=TRUCKEE RS, CALIFORNIA Period of Record General Climate Summary – Precipitation |url=http://www.wrcc.dri.edu/cgi-bin/cliGCStP.pl?ca9043 |website=wrcc.dri.edu}}</ref> although the extremes by "rain year" are a maximum of {{convert|53.50|in|mm|1}} between July 1981 and June 1982 and a low of {{convert|15.91|in|mm|1}} between July 2000 and June 2001.

Truckee has an average of {{convert|206.6|inch|m|sigfig=2}} of snow annually, which makes it the fifth-snowiest city in the United States, while snow cover usually averages {{convert|28|in|m|sigfig=2}} in February, but has exceeded {{convert|115|in|m|sigfig=2}}.<ref>{{Cite web |title=POR – Daily Snowdepth Average and Extreme |url=http://www.wrcc.dri.edu/cgi-bin/cliFDrec.pl?ca9043 |website=wrcc.dri.edu}}</ref> The most snow in one month was {{convert|196.0|inch|m|sigfig=2}} in February 1938, and the most in a season was {{convert|444.3|inch|m|sigfig=2}} between July 1951 and June 1952.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.wrcc.dri.edu/WRCCWrappers.py?sodxtrmts+049043+por+por+snow+msum+5+07+F |title=Truckee Ranger Station: Monthly Snowfall Totals |access-date=September 8, 2014 |archive-date=September 8, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140908085931/http://www.wrcc.dri.edu/WRCCWrappers.py?sodxtrmts+049043+por+por+snow+msum+5+07+F |url-status=dead }}</ref> The maximum 24-hour snowfall was {{convert|34.0|inch|m|2}} on February 17, 1990.
