Last Snow:4"

      After a night of high winds across the lake,  the next night provided a late look at winter's last gasp.  About 4" of powder blanketed the basin, creating the usual visuals for the residents.  It's always a magnificent sight: waking up to a landscape of powdered sugar as far as the eye can see.  On top of that, the morning broke clear without a cloud in the sky, and hardly a ripple across the lake surface.  Glassy patches of water reflected the azure sky above capturing a view that makes it all worthwhile to live inside the Basin.

       Visitors numbers will continue their downward trend as Covid rules and policies begin to change.  California leads the nation in percentages of lower infection rates.  This bodes well for a local economic rebound.  Perhaps indoor dining will undergo rebirth, but it is not known if the public will respond to the 'new' normal of social interactions.  Time will tell.
