Damn, just remembered I DID NOT pull the coolant hoses on my boat up at altitude.

I hope those several 20 degree nights next week won't crack the manifold!

Compared to years past this storm is about 3-5 weeks AHEAD of the historical cycle.

If this storm happened in January-February it would be dumping many feet at 7000 feet.

At least this storm is "priming the pump" a month ahead of schedule.

Not trying to jinx things but it sure would be nice to have those January dumpings happen in December and the February dumpings happen in January !

Heart of Low pressure passing between Levitt Lake and Mammoth.

If this were January the area would be pounded with snow !

Looks like (NOAA interactive snow) Kings canyon ... just east of Mt Whitney and a mountain range NE of Bishop received 6-10 inches of snow.

Rest of Cali mountains 3-6 or less.


In USA looks like Silverton Colorado mountain area has 3 feet ... Kendal Mountain

Nice, I have some riding to do out of Bishop this year. The Whites get snow but not like the Sierras.

Looks like Ontario province has tthe best snow TODAY ! Near Red lake Ontario But daytime airtemps are above 50 so it won't be around long.
