We been promised snow but I have to tell you it’s not looking good. Currently, it’s 37° but it feels like 25° it’s really cold out there probably because the wind is blowing. The humidity is 61 so, it could go either way. The air feels kind of heavy I can’t see (because it’s dark) the sky above so it’s anyone’s guess right now.
According to Ryan Campbell at the Union Democrat:
Forecasters say snow level could drop to 1,600 feet Wednesday
National Weather Service forecasters issued a Winter Storm Warning for the region this morning, saying rain and snow as low as 2,600 feet are all but certain late tonight.
More of the same is forecast for Wednesday — with a 100 percent chance of precipitation and snow down to 1,600 feet. While flakes may fall, little or no snow accumulation is forecast in the foothills.
I’ve got a fire burning in the wood burner and I’m going to hope and pray for snow. It will probably start around 4:00 a.m. I’ll let you know. Drive safely, slow down the roads maybe icy in the morning.

It just started snowing, big huge flakes. My Motherlode is calling for a light dusting but I don’t see it. It’s really coming down out there.
Winter Storm Watch Issued For The Sierra Nevada
A small storm system will move through the area on Monday.
Although only light precipitation is expected, the snow levels could drop to as low as 1000 through 2000 feet.
Snow accumulations in both the Mother Lode and the Sierra Nevada, will range from a dusting to three inches.
Strong gusty winds are expected in the mountains through Monday morning.
We shall see shortly. This could be the one.

Unfortunately, those snow seekers will have to drive a little higher than Twain Harte. The snow is almost all gone in Twain Harte, but just a few miles further and you should find all the snow you want.
The hotel at Black Oak is under construction.
