WEST SLOPE NORTHERN SIERRA NEVADA-
545 PM PST SAT DEC 17 2005

...HEAVY SNOW POSSIBLE FOR THE SIERRA NEVADA ON SUNDAY..

[Pablito]

Yeah baby!

[BayAreaKite]

You know what would be nice? A big dump of snow followed by a few days on a weekend of clear blue skies and good winds.

[Pablito]

hahahahahahahahahahaha.

What? You were serious? Sorry.

Actually, they're calling for loads o'snow next Weds./Thurs. followed by dry Friday and then more snow for the weekend.

I don't mind skiing/kiting in the snow, and I don't mind driving in the snow. But driving in Tahoe weekend traffic, in the snow, f$&%#$ sucks. I'm sure everyone has stories, but one time I spent 6 hours on 80 going up, three hours skiing, and then 6 hours coming back down.

Oh wait. Then there was the time I stayed the night in Truckee and it took me 2 hours to go from the condo to Squaw Valley (10 miles).

Blow off work on Monday or Friday, better plan.

I'm up here now. It was snowing a bit up at the top of Northstar earlier today. It just started snowing again an hour or so down in Truckee. Light dusting so far...

[Pablito]

SNOW!

Quantitative precipitation forecast Sunday generally expected to range from 1/2 to 1
inch in the valley (though some areas of the North Valley may be
shadowed and see less) with 1 to 3 inches in the foothills and
mountains. Some of the High Sierra elevations will likely see 2 feet
or more of snow by late Sunday night.

Like I said before, blow off work Monday!

[Pablito]
