Another system is hours away, but skiers are not expecting much white stuff. Unlike a recent East Coast dump, this Western version is wet but warm. As a result, not much powder for the powder boys to enjoy this weekend. maybe next time. the classic storm door appears to be open, but we have to wait for lower temperatures to get our snow quotas up.
The Lake level is low, as one can see in front of Fanny Bridge: all but one gate are closed and there is no water flow through the one. Gravel beds are exposed along the stretch from Tahoe City to Truckee and Donner Creek is dry as Donner lake is low again.
So, enjoy the turkey leftovers, go out and spend your low gasoline price savings bonanza. Buy something useful, something with long term value, like a book, or a fishing pole, or a snow blower. Yes, you've wanted a new snow blower for years. Now.
There's more squabbling among OPEC members and no resolution or compromise in the offing. Bankers estimate that the spending public has just received an $85 billion dollar tax cut via the reduction in gasoline prices. Don't you feel better? Don't you feel like life is good, again? Yes, you might feel this way, but what of poor Mad Vlad Putin? He feels sick. Too bad for you, Mad Vlad.
