Keep in mind, the camping gear will come in handy if needed.

Kurt same thoughts are with us here.

Yep, very possible. I believe the record snowfall for a season stands at somewhere around 75 feet (no drifts) in the high sierras.

Glad you're OK.
Got pretty windy here too, sure glad the IRG reservation vigil was last week.
Had a real bitchen thunder and lightning show on the Hill last night too... Didn't have to count and wait for the thunder.
How's Daizy holding out?... Little Hog got pretty freaked, but the cat seemed non too bothered about it.

Man, I missed all the fun, slept right through it all.

Hey Doug, it’s starting to rain and getting cold… Look out for round 2, the snow in on the way. :snow

My area of Santa Barbara county got a good rain yesterday, almost 3 inches. There were all kinds of weather warnings, but didn't see any real high winds but the rain was definitely pouring down.
We are due for more rain on Sunday. We definitely need the rain.

For whatever reason the worst storms around here usually aren't the ones that are predicted, but the ones that catch everyone by surprise. :lol:

So sounds like the worst weather is north of here, so everyone stay safe.

I lost the tarp over the Dalton and the 12x20 canopy over my boat last night. Seems to be calm today. Other than that everything is ok at this end of the High Desert, Haven't really done a walk around yet.

P.S. Just got back in and I also lost part of the top of my spa. :cry:

I just cam in from checking out my tear, I got some water in the galley. It looks like the wind drove it into the end of the hinge. Not to bad, I will have to add a little bit of weather striping when it stops raining.

So Gage are you going out searching for your stuff? :snowstorm:

It's dumping snow now, but really it's Sierra concrete, just packs in on everything and turns to ice. Took the snowblower that a Teardropper fixed, Dean Bessom, over to my sisters...they had about 14" of snow...blew about 500' of driveway, and got their generator running.

Get this

On the way home...some guy was pulling a T@B up the hill headed to Tahoe with an older Ford Winstar van...I'll bet they don't let him go down the east side of Echo Summit with that!!! Could get to be a handful in a hurry!! :shock:

The Rocketear is getting snowed on...not enough room in the garage for both and to work on them. Pole barn is full :cry:

I got lucky and then again I didn't. :thinking:

The big tarp that was over the boat is trash but the one over the Dalton was up against the fence so I was able to retrieve it and hang it over the trailer again and tie more lines on it to (hopefully) keep it where it belongs tonight. The funny was that the car cover I have on the wagon was laying beside the wagon, but still attached. Had to unattached it and pull it back over the wagon. Boy the things that high winds will do.
