We only have a few inches over here at 3500'. Stay safe.

I’m so sorry.
That’s tough.
Damn plow better be through there soon.

I mean, we are talking the basic necessities of life here.

as much as I cook with it so I always have two reasons...

Here's how you post pics: https://www.democraticunderground.com/103659987

Might be a good time to quit smoking!

I use flicker to post pics, I upload pics from my computer to flicker and then copy and paste them to DU, you can upload 800 photos for free and store them until you need them.

from you. I've been looking at the traffic cameras in the area
and half of them are covered/obscured by snow. The ski areas look
empty.
I'm glad I live below the snow line.

down to 1000 feet!

a dusting at 1440'.

ps.. the picture link is somewhat broken. I had to copy/paste
to see the snow.
Happy shoveling!

But 3 or 4 feet? wow. I love Tahoe though....had some times there long ago.

That's what a normal snow deposit looks like where I live. We were at +58F Saturday afternoon, Sunday morning it was -10F and snowing. We only have inches of snow but it's been all the way up to +4F today... but that's normal. What isn't normal is that we have only had about six or eight days like this all winter. The rest has been hovering around or above freezing temps and hardly any snow, even in the mountains, we had mostly bare peaks around here until yesterday.

Go to bed early, rip the hill. Stop at the store on the way home. Repeat until it stops dumping.

Lucky girl.

yeah, lived her 25 yrs...but I HATE winter...I'm a summer-girl!

which is huge for us... blowing 20-60 mile an hour winds...nobody going anywhere here either

usually it's just a "winter storm" warning...

stay warm, neighbor!!!

My deck and stairs looked much the same this morning as yesterday... ugh! all that hard work!

At least the plow came by and I got someone COMPETENT to do my driveway! Off to the store!
(once I find the bottom of my stairs again... eeeekkkkk!)


total here at our house in Meyers, I'd say a good 5-6 feet, maybe more if you count the 6" or so we got Saturday...

At least I was able to feed my poor birds and critters this morning too!

Years ago, I went skiing, south of where you are in the Sierras. There was a blizzard like that one while I was there. 5' of snow in 24 hours. The resort didn't close, so I just kept on skiing in that fresh powder. Then, it came time to come off the mountain and drive for four hours to get home. I followed a snow plow down the mountain until we got below the snow line. Otherwise, I'd have been stuck there for days.

You upload the picture to the site, the site gives you a HTML link and you post that link to DU.

https://www.democraticunderground.com/103659987 has instructions (2nd section)

I've used a couple of sites, but http://tinypic.com/ is the one I've used most recently.
