Forecasters see rain/snow next week: a White Thanksgiving weekend. Unfortunately, not much snow will fall in time for wide open ski runs in the basin. Perhaps some agressive resorts, such as Heavenly Valley, Squaw Valley, and Alpine Meadows will charge up the snowmaking machines and get a few diehards who can't wait(and who have season tickets).
This long autumn season will end, finally. With the end of autumn will come the end of the fire danger, at least the type of fire that wipes out whole cities. This year's Kincade Fire was the worst, consuming hundreds of structures, including scores of single family residences, and sending hundreds of folks into a homeless situation. Just yesterday in Napa, Solano, and Mendocino counties, PG&E shut off electricity because of high winds that endanger the surrounding area. The power should be restored today.
So, Tahoma folks, make sure you are prepared for winter- most of you who live in our fair town know the drill: drive carefully on winter road conditions-ALWAYS. Expecting guests from down the hill? Instruct them on the particulars of driving while crossing into the Sierra-it's different up here. Extra batteries, portable radio, lanterns, generator, extra water. Got it? Get it.
Be prepared.
Happy Thanksgiving
