You should occasionally step outside to make sure you get some fresh air. Also if you are using a desktop, they push allot heat out the back. (use this to help keep warm in drafty college room.)Quote:

i got hurt skiing on thursday and could barely walk, but meds may make skiing possible tomorrow...
Glad to see the temps dropping out there. We're getting some funky as weather in NJ too. 30 degrees and sleeting like hell(about an inch in an hour) now its absolutely puking snow(I'd say 2ish inches/hour) with thunder and lightning. Apocalypse pow, heheheh.:biggrin:
It just went from monsoon to bluebird in about 5 minutes here in Marin.
I can see the blue sky from berkeley now too. Are you going up to Tahoe sometime this weekend?Quote:

My sis just spent one hour trying to get from our house to the city... her whole trip involved getting on 101 south at E. Blithedale, and off at Seminary (one exit farther south) and back home... a whopping 3 miles or so. Apparently 101 south has only one lane open past Sausalito, and Tam Junction is closed.Quote:

The rain is just starting to turn to snow at 5400' near Topaz Lake in Nevada.
I should be ok....my crawl space is still dry....we need the level to rise another 5 or 6 feet to "inundate" my crib (meaning get up to the floor joists)....my crawl space ended up only getting a few inches of water in the flood of '97 (which took me out of 100yr flood status so I didn't need to get flood insurance :fuckyou: )...Quote:

U.S. 50 has just been closed from Pollock Pines to Meyers due to landslide concerns. With the closure of I-80, this means there is now no trans-Sierra route except the vulnerable Hwy 88. Heavy snows on the passes following the heavy rain will cause delays. If you can get to skiing tomorrow, should be a great day once the avy control work is completed.
Good luck over there Corky! Keep dry. MTT, watch those heating gases. If you can get to a hardware store, buy a cheap insurance policy...CO detector.
This nukeage thread has sure taken a few wierd turns.
Marin may be sunny, but not dry. Apparently San Anselmo had 4 feet of "fast moving water" running through downtown, and the public library had 3' of water in the lower floor. Major bummer. Everything is el swampo... high tide is about now causing backups of creeks, etc.
88 is closed due to avalanche control on both sides of Kirkwood right now. There is NO way up to Tahoe right now...Quote:

Another friend who has a press pass drove down I-80 and took pics of the multiple mud slides blocking the road. Apparently some are as large as 100 yards, and there are multiple. The crews working them confirmed that they think it will be closed 48 hours at a minimum. Wow!
In other news, the snow is looking really good around here.

Yes, he drove the road that skirts Verdi Peak and drops to Boca. A 2 year old 4 runner.....but he swears he didnt even need 4 wheel drive. That said, now it has been snowing for 4 more hours....so who knows if it is still viable.Quote:

Then a tree fell across 28/89 in Kings Beach and 89 to Truckee has mud slides: we're trapped with no lifts. Then power to Sq Village was out from 11am to about 4pm.
However, tomorrow could be epic!
Jim glad you made it! Get some for me (Powder that is) KT22 East face be there!!Quote:

22 degrees, it has snowed at least 4" since it finally turned to snow around noon. But, don't be fooled by the KW snow report, it has been raining hard at Kirkwood for about 24 hours. Roads are still heavy with water. Winds are heavy heavy duty. Temp is down, snow has slowed, actually saw some blue sky poke out before it got dark. Tomorrow should be good, it will be soft and and slow. We went out XC on the meadow for a couple hours and the snow is nice, cold enough to get some slide on, and enough to cover up the slush. It was snowing 2"/hr for a while this afteroon. Let's get it on!
Bub's '06!
Pretty serious line up on hwy 50 between the airport and Meyers a couple of hours ago. Not too surprised to see it since 50 was the only pass open over the Sierras between Susanville and Bakersfield.Quote:

The road and slush at the base are starting to freeze. The snow in the meadow is drying out. Should be a decent day of skiing tomorrow.
