Winter: Again, for about a Week

lake calm December

       So, feel the temps dropping today?  Feel the wind pickup through the sugar pines along Highway 89?   Oh, yes, it's springtime in the Sierra.  Spring skiing?  Not this year, my friend.  The Pandemic, you know all about.   All the resorts are closed.  Folks are sheltering in place except to buy food and essentials to survive the ordeal.  So expect about 10"-16"of fresf snow over the next 6 days and nights.  What a pain!  Locked down; confined at home.  Yes, could be worse.  You could be in a refugee camp in a hostile foreign country with no friends, no family to help.  So, make the best of this late blast of winter snow.  It will add to the 50% of normal snow pack and give a lift to the Dept. f Water Resources.

      Easter is not far away.  There will be no family celebrations this year.  Not here, not in Rome, not in Jerusalem, not in Reno or LA.  The party is over for awhile.
