We’ve had snow on and off again but not any accumulation to speak of. I have however heard many more police sirens than is usual for Twain Harte. Well, at least I assume it’s police, could be the ambulance, we hope not.
Winter fun up the hill from Twain Harte, California
It’s still 37 degrees in Soulsbyville, but the higher you go, the more the temperature drops. It’s currently 28 degrees F. in Twain Harte right now. Cold enough for the roads to freeze. Be sure to slow down on these mountain roads, it’s easy enough to hit a patch of ice and spin out of control. You could end up in tree or worse.
Friday Snowplay will be opening! I hope all you snowbunnies have fun out there on the tubes. The trip up and back should be a good one. Things can happen. Be sure you are prepared for the weather, you never know when your going to have to wait for a tow truck. Assuming of course you have cell service with which to call.
You can find many Winter Driving Emergency Survival Tips here. Be safe!
Happy Thanksgiving!
It’s cold, cold, cold in the mountains. It was about 27 degrees outside this morning. It’s warmed up to a current temperature of 31 degrees. Brrrrrrrrr
An animation showing seasonal snow changes.
We were expecting snow on Tuesday that didn’t arrive. The air force is still spraying chemicals overhead and I firmly believe that this is part of the problem. I believe they are trying to empty out this part of the country, to create their wildlife corridor that I’ve read so much about.
Apparently they can keep the snow away, but they aren’t able to control the cold.
Snow Play still has snow – well – rather ice. Fast Ice. So, if you plan to do some sledding be aware that the mountain is all ice. This is what they had to say on their website:
We have snow. We DO NOT have a lot; no one does. We need to be 100% honest with you. We are still in the middle of a drought, and we DO NOT have the 3-4 feet of snow we should. We are OPEN with the snow we have, but the hills are icy, hard…
It’s refreshing to see someone being honest with the public. These people are great! They have been packed lately. I hope we get some snow soon. They could make all the snow they want but California won’t allow it. It’s the craziest thing I’ve ever heard of. It’s a shame too. If he could stay open most of the winter, the kids would have fun stuff to do, local businesses would benefit and it would help tourism in the county.
Makes you wonder what they have against small businesses. Enjoy the snow while we have it. I have a feeling it’s going to be another rough year here.
It snowed last night, here in Twain Harte we got about two inches. The snow stopped falling about midnight or so. I was afraid that was all we were going to get then about 6:45 a.m., it started snowing big flakes, we could end up getting more accumulation yet.
Here’s the weather report:
- Today – Snow showers likely. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 41. South wind 7 to 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%. Total daytime snow accumulation of less than one inch possible.
- Tonight – Rain and snow showers likely, becoming all snow after 11 pm. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 33. Southeast wind 6 to 8 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New snow accumulation of 1 to 2 inches possible.
- Wednesday – A chance of snow showers before 11 am, then a chance of rain and snow showers. Partly sunny, with a high near 43. Calm wind becoming west 5 to 8 mph in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 30%. Little or no snow accumulation expected.

Right now it’s 29° in Twain Harte, quite the change from last weeks lows in the high 40’s.
