Still Snowing

Yes, that white stuff falling is the same stuff: snow! Late winter/early spring snow. It will soon be summer. Will it ever arrive?
Don't despair, the above average snowfall always has a long term benefit: lots of water runoff into the Lake. This we all agree is a good thing.
So, keep your chin up, be patient, full spring will be here shortly.

Civic notes
Police report
The investigation into the details surrounding the shooting in Meeks Bay is continuing. No new details have emerged and the El Dorado County Sheriff is working closely with Placer County to solve this crime. We will continue to follow this very important case.
Animal Control
A bruin was spotted in a vehicle near Sugar Pine Point early Sunday morning. The animal was small, maybe a year old, more or less, and appeared healthy and at normal weight for spring. Remember: these locals are cut, but they are WILD,WILD, WILD. They are not cartoon characters and have not been on TV. Generally, they'll move of their own accord without harassment. When in doubt, call animal control.
Sportsmen Arrive
With the end of ski season giving way to summer outdoor activities, be aware of cars & trucks hauling trailers, campers, boats, ATV's,etc. They move slowly, as they should around the lake, and often are not the most experienced drivers. Welcome them.

Spring Cleanup efforts
As property owners open cabins for the next season, be aware of the Truckee Landfill. They have a recycling center that accepts the usual items: glass, aluminum cans, yard waste, appliances, and large bulk items. Better there than in the basin.
