We had a solid dusting earlier when the 5-minute squall came through. Mix of heavy graupel and snow. The wind has been ridiculous today. My Xmas tree is on the curb and twice now i've had to chase it more than a block up the street. I finally gave up and put it in the garage.
Day 1,178 of drought
It's another bright sunny day in the desert valley and the cacti look beautiful standing - though slowly wilting - in the sparkling sands.....
48 out to Davis will be passable. You won't hit any snow at all until you make the final climb up the plateau around Bismark. You'll only be driving through maybe 15 - 20 miles of snow to Blackwater. The trucks do an OK job plowing. The worst part will be the roads inside the park.
