The storms keep coming across the Pacific and crashing into Northern California. The result: some flooding, hardly a word we've been familiar with during the last couple of years of drought. With king tides marking high water marks along the Bay front, the heavy rains back up and cause flooding in low lying areas around the Bay shores. Even SF's Marina Blvd. saw the streets flooded up to the door handles of compact cars parked along the curbs. Warning were sent out to various agencies to advise on local situations that could affect residents during their travels.
Up near Tahoma, our base area, snow was falling in large amounts over the weekend. Highway 89, our lifeline, was hazardous at least, and in need of constant plowing to allow through traffic if one was bold enough to venture out. Skiing is a bit dicey as strong winds have resirts shutting down lifts for safety sake.
Tomorrow will bring more of the same which bodes well for water storage and less chance of fires in the warmer part of the year. Good news.
Be safe, stay in if you can avoid travel now.
