They were forecasting 6 inches or better here a day before the storm. We got some rain and then a dusting of snow. Maybe it won't as bad as predicted there as well.

It's been snowing steadily since early last night.





Maybe today would be a good day to add brandy to my coffee.

It is so freakin' dry here. San Francisco even had their first Jan. ever without rain. Scared for the rest of the year.

They say the Tahoe snow pack is very dry this year too. Maybe rain on this Friday fingers cross and rain dancing.

but I'm so tired of shoveling, sore from it and my head hurts. 4 storms inside of 8 or 9 days is more than a bit much...

Falling snow hasn't slowed down since 11 PM last night. None of my neighbors have gone out to shovel. The private plow trucks have been through but the road is totally covered again.


You've gotten far more snow than we have. Hope you catch a break soon!

I was barely able to get my car off the road last night.

barely able to get in the front door. I forgot to bring the shovel with me from the car, so had to kick the snow out of the way. It's going to take days to shovel out the back of the barn and get to the hay shed again.

It's looking scary this morning. we're supposed to get another significant one this Monday. we're running out of places to put it.

How about bringing some of that snow my way to NorCal? CA is in a drought and could use more precipitation, and I have yet to see snowy weather in-person in my entire life.

Sincerely,
Jamaal.

But then we'd have to worry about roads being even slipper and more accidents...
