Need gumbo
Better get another gas can. Up to 10" of liquid falling as snow in a week? Don't let it get ahead of you.ski3pin said:
Hope your wood pile is dry and close.

Getting dark here and some wind; just finished filling up the wood stack next to the front porch-and made a store run. I guess they think we will get hit this weekend and we really need it here on the east side and in the Reno area, been running 10-20 degrees above normal here and melting our snow pack 
! ----and I had just tanked up the truck and charged the camper batteries for a quick 3 day run to check the Eagle Lakes' water levels-might be a bit higher if I wait --ya that sounds like a good plan!

Weather Summary
A series of strong storms will move through the area starting Thursday and continue off and on through early next week. The main impacts from these storms will be lots of rain and snow (and some wind). The periods of heavy rain when combined with the already wet ground, will result in more runoff and quicker responses on creeks and rivers. This will likely result in more low land and urban flooding as well as small stream flooding and travel impacts and delays.
The other major impact will be from heavy snow. Snow levels will be up and down with the systems, but generally the most significant impacts will be above 5000 feet. Combined with wind this will cause very major disruptions in travel and road closures are very possible.
Those with travel or outdoor plans this weekend should plan ahead.

After a lull in the winter storm cycle in February, it looks like March is turning into a bit of a miracle for us. The snowblower got a good work out last Monday morning. The warm February, unfortunately woke up our peach trees. Here's the new blossoms opening in yesterday's snow.
In the rain this morning we drove down the hill to a local water supply reservoir. News was that it reached capacity and started to spill on Wednesday. This is great news after our prolonged drought.
And yes, we do know someone who years ago kayaked this.
We hope all of you are also enjoying winter!

You are having snow and we are having 65°F. What a weird wonderful world. Our son and his girlfriend are heading to Yosemite to ski the Glacier Point Road in to the hut next weekend. They have no idea what to expect- looks like snow and then 55°.

They are going to have a great time especially with the clear warm weather; nothing like spring time in the Sierra!takesiteasy said:<snip>

Here is a NWS spot forecast
We need to go back! Glacier Point Ski

Ski- thanks for the report! I forwarded it on to my son.
Kinda weird how Oregon -- all of it -- is covered with clouds but not much of that laps over into CA or WA:
But nary a cloud in sight in SW Arizona, where I am this morning. Wouldn't mind a few clouds -- highs are forecast to be 90F.
