Who else has a Blizzard Warning for Mon - Wed?

That photo is of a mild case. A couple of mornings so far this winter the fog was just a short distance below the viewpoint. One morning I woke to fog on Deadman Summit - the next high point to the south.

Yeah - you'll lose power. But I'd watch out for the 3-7 inch forecast. That was the prediction for us last night. We got 15" out the door this morning.

I used to shovel the driveway. THAT was a lot of work. But in any case the first item on the agenda is repairing the damage and dealing with the drainage issue. The almost frightening amount of rain we got betwixt and between the storms in December made a bad situation worse. The pathways around...

:lol:

It warmed up and we did a lot of shoveling a week ago. I thought I might be able to get the truck to the house but alas - it is not to be. We've done fine hauling groceries up to the house in backpacks but carrying, dragging, cursing the trash cans down to the truck made me cry. And then I had...

I can confirm that the pogonip has been epic. When you add in the incredible (and suddenly) disappearing right hand lanes I decided the section of the drive around Mono Lake has been the crux of every ski trip since December.

Social Media. No imagination or desire/ability to explore (study patterns to find lesser known areas) People all end up at the same place. I often wonder if these people actually enjoy themselves or if it is only about the photo to post and the bragging rights. I certainly would not want to brag...

I do not have a diesel heater but have camped near some. As Old Crow said they are not quiet. Not as bad as a generator but not as quiet as propane from the outside (unless they also have a generator to run the blower - why I don't do Benton Hot Springs anymore) . Even a built in diesel heater...

He also measured distance by the number of six packs and threw the empties out the window. But I never have considered Ed to be an "environmentalist" and certainly not a "god". He was just a contrary, misanthropic old curmudgeon who drove a cab in New Jersey (or New York?) in between park...

Tuesday, when I took the photo, was pretty much perfect Then we got a little wind and a lot of cold and we now have varying thicknesses of breakable crust, a little bit of settled powder and some wind pack so hard I can't get a ski edge to hold. I am now reduced to cruising on the lightweight...

I was earning my turns this week. My house is right down there.

just said a passenger car

Your stream is lovely! And I am glad to hear you have stayed high and dry.

this is what 3 - 7 inches of snow looks like. It's that new math stuff the dreaded berm was not as bad as it could be sirens, paramedic, chp - after several days of closure 395 was open for just about 24 hours before someone rear-ended a snow blower just south of Bridgeport - and people...

My husband's heater fan caught on fire while he was driving. It was a mouse nest. One time my husband opened the glove box while I was driving and a mouse dove behind the box and the heater fan stopped. I turned it off, he reached behind the glove box and pulled out a mouse head which he threw...

Our tax dollars at work. It looks like the county truck came by and dumped an excessive amount of that black sticky crud but the only actual snow removal has been done by residents. I know this has been (and still is) an unusual weather event (worst road conditions I have seen in 29 years) but...

This cartoon is just perfect!

Power went out about 4 pm. We had leftover soup made from leftover roast beef from Christmas heated on a backpack stove, crackers, salad, tea, whiskey, cookies and went to bed by 8. I did wake around midnight in order to worry about things.

Thigh deep snow (I'm 5'2") Cooked bacon and eggs on the backpack stove and went down to dig out the vehicles. Finished up just in time for the power to come back on. The county is probably too cheap to pay double time for the holiday so the street has not been touched - just a couple of ruts in...

According to the forecast it was going to rain today, snow 4-8" tonight. We are now up to 4 inches of snow right now and the forecast for tonight is another 10-14". Clearance on my truck is 14" - it'll be moved to the bottom of the driveway before dark.

just changed to snow at 5500 ft - HUGE flakes

:lol:

Christmas Day, those tracks are ours from two weeks earlier

this came to mind: https://www.facebook.com/seinfeld/videos/3-the-marine-biologist-seinfeld/450167295911029/ to be honest I don't get this "influencer" thing - I mean, people pay to watch video of someone doing something stupid? Might I be a geezer?
