Rain?


Well, the rain seems to have a little texture to it this morning. I keep getting fooled by the weather guys who obviously missed the forecast again today. One thing for sure about the weather, you have to take what you get. I do have to go out today but I choose to walk instead of drive. That is a big plus for living in downtown Susanville. At the end of the week I'll be leaving this winter wonderland to go play in the desert and walk on some less slippery ground. I'm taking a different route to Vegas this time, opting to drive down Highway 95 instead of 395. Since I have never been down that road it will be new scenery for me. After looking out the window this morning, I can't wait!

Rain coming?


After watching the weather this morning and seeing that rain is predicted for tomorrow, and then looking out my window, it seems like there might be a little problem developing. I have been living in this country for 30 years and as I recall, some of the worst flooding we have ever had has come when it rained on a fresh snow pack. It will be interesting to see what happens here, but if I was a betting man I'd put money on flooding.
I'm still planning on heading south on Friday assuming the roads don't get washed out.
