There is absolutely nothing quite as beautiful as freshly fallen snow. I think winter is natures way of saying, slow down — you might not be able to stop and smell the roses but certainly we can all take time out for a snowball fight.
It’s almost 7 a.m. and the snowplows have not made it down Fuller Road yet, which is unusual. Normally, when crews are late plowing the main drag in Twain Harte, it’s because snowplows are busy clearing streets in Sonora. If you live in Twain Harte, stay home if you can or go into work late today. Better safe, than sorry.
PG&E crews had restored electric power late last evening, only to have it flicker a couple of times and remain out until around 2 a.m., when the power was restored briefly, only to go out again. The power remains off at this time. Calls to PG&E offered no details, other than they were experiencing widespread outages. Duh! I figured that one out all by myself.
We are assured that crews are working to restore power as quickly as possible. Let’s just say, I’m thankful I do not work for PG&E today — employees will all be working overtime I suspect. In the meantime, the generate is keeping us toasty and warm.
If you can stay home today — do so. Road crews will be able to clear the roads much faster if motorists aren’t on the roads slowing down the road crews.
I’ll be updating this page as new details become available and as I am able due to the power outage.
If you are looking for snow, Dodge Ridge has it and plenty of it. Opening day is November 24th — my birthday.
