It started falling early in the day on Sunday and hasn’t stopped yet. That fluffy white stuff we’ve all been waiting for has finally arrived here in Twain Harte.

Fortunately, for Monday morning commuters, we’ve seen only about an inch of accumulation thus far, with no signs of the snowfall letting up any time soon.  Drivers should allow themselves a little extra time this morning to reach their destination.

Temperatures fell down to a cool 35° overnight and are expected to dip further, down into the 20s Monday and Tuesday evenings, so put another log on the fire (or another bag of pellets), bundle up and stay inside if you can.

The first snow of the year is always an exciting time in Twain Harte. Looks like winter could be here to stay for a while. 

Dodge Ridge has reported in:

An El Nino season has been predicted and the snow began falling today at around 1:00 p.m.  Snow accumulations of 2+ feet are predicted to fall by 6:00 p.m. tomorrow night and a Winter Storm Watch is in effect from tonight through Monday night. Snow is expected to fall all week, so be sure to check out the Dodge Ridge live web cams. Opening day is right around the corner!

It’s official: All motherlode schools are closed today.

Darn that global warming

    Between 4 and 5 inches of snow has fallen in Twain Harte. The snowplows have not been down Fuller Road yet, which is rather unusual.

    Chains are required 5.3 miles West of the Junction Shopping Center in Sonora.

    Hello in Citrus Heights — Enjoy the snow! According to KCRA they actually saw snow in Sacramento and in Citrus Heights today. Unbelievable.
