    CA/Tahoe weather jinx

    man, i am just loving this high pressure that has camped off the pacific and is preventing any storms from hitting Tahoe. I am going to road ride on Sat and MTB on Sun and hope to go for some hikes up in Tahoe next week over the Thanksgiving holiday.....I really hope this high pressure sticks around and it doesn't snow.....

    look at the sweet forecast:

    Tonight: Mostly clear. Lows 22 to 32. Southeast winds up to 10 mph in the evening becoming light.

    Thursday: Mostly sunny. Highs 45 to 55. West winds 10 to 15 mph.

    Thursday night: Partly cloudy. Lows 19 to 29. Northwest winds up to 10 mph shifting to the northeast after midnight.

    Friday: Partly cloudy. Highs 37 to 47. East winds 10 to 15 mph with gusts up to 35 mph.

    Friday night: Mostly clear and brisk. Lows 13 to 23. East winds 15 to 25 mph. Gusts to 90 mph over ridges.

    Saturday: Partly cloudy. Highs 35 to 45.

    Saturday night: Partly cloudy. Lows 11 to 21.

    Sunday: Mostly sunny and brisk. Highs 31 to 41.

    Sunday night: Mostly clear and brisk. Lows 10 to 20.

    Monday: Mostly sunny. Highs 32 to 42.

    Monday night: Mostly clear. Lows 14 to 24.

    Tuesday: Mostly sunny. Highs 37 to 47.

    Tuesday night: Mostly clear. Lows 15 to 25.

    Wednesday: Mostly sunny. Highs 40 to 50.

    WOO HOO HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEMS!


    great time of year or doing some bluebird day bouldering! love being able to wear a t-shirt and not have to fiddle with gloves or ski boots. No need to put the truck in 4-wheel. Clean, dry roads....just the way i like it!

    went mountain biking down in the pine nuts (gardnerville, nv) today. man it was beautiful. prolly close to 70, short sleeves, shorts. might as well make the best of a shitty situation.

    I think I'll schedule a couple rounds of golf and maybe a company picnic. Maybe get some people together for a weeklong pre-Thanksgiving camping trip.

    and have the house re-roofed while I'm at it.

    I'm gonna straighten, wax and tune my Iggs, then I'm gonna buy a snorkel and some powder ribbons, then I'm gonna store my bike until May because I will have no need for it, same for my quiver of boards. Then I'm gonna get a set of new tires for my Taco so I don't slip and slide on my formula-1 slicks with 90k miles when I'm driving through 4 feet of blower to get to Kirkweed before they plow the parking lot. Then I'm gonna do nonstop leg presses in the gym to build my tree trunk legs for when I throw down since there will be bottomless pow in the landing anyway.

    Ahhh...sunny California. Good thing I just bought a 64oz bottle of 100 SPF. I spent a shitload of money on it, but it's finally going to come in handy. Can't wait to lather up my body in 100 SPF and work on my tan. I can wash my pickup with nothing but my shorts on and maybe get in a round or two of golf.

    Bless this sunshiney weather!

    May my lips be chapped and my goggle tan be gone.

    The last two years I've missed most of the Xmas dumps. I swear I'm cursed. You're welcome too.

    You're a funny man, Sully, I like you. That's why I'm going to kill you last.

    I guess the Ta-ho crew is shit out of luck. I just got an email from the CEO giving the whole company Xmas-New Years off. Time to get some new fat skis for all the light dry powder snow at Kirkwood during the holidayas

    Or if I feel like being a nice guy and take one for the team. Maybe I'll zip down to Costa Rica for a week and let you ski the inevitable 5 feet of blower that will dump when I'm not around.
