We could be experiencing the calm before the storm or we could miss this next one all together.
My Motherlode reports:
The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning for the Sierra Nevada from 1pm Friday through 10pm Saturday.
Snow levels will generally begin from 4000 through 5000 feet.
Several inches of snow accumulation is likely at 4000 feet. One to three feet of snow is expected above 5000 feet. Two to four feet of snow is possible above 7000 feet.
Winds will gust up to 60 MPH over and near the crest.
The Motherlode should receive two to three inches of rain during this time period. Gusty winds are also expected. There is also the chance of thunderstorms.
If you ask me, it’s perfect weather for a drive up to Twain Harte for a weekend get-away. A little rain never hurt anybody and snow fall at the higher elevations is almost a sure thing. The bus to Dodge Ridge leaves from the Market at regularly scheduled intervals.
Don’t let the weather get you down. Take a drive, play in the snow and live a little.
