So CalTrans actually OPENED a road due to adverse weather? That's a new one.

Thanks everyone! Better safe than sorry. Good luck digging out from the next round. That was a doozy.

Yeah Sportyj, what Van said... we could pick up another foot or more tonight.

Sportyj if I were you I would go today if thats an option With lower snow levels tonight and tomorrow the high deserts will be affected. The roads are surprisingly OK right now

I need to get to Palm Desert for a surgery on Thursday. Should I leave in the break of the weather today or will tomorrow be okay? Seems like levels drop even more tomorrow.

Thank you jelly. I’m in Pam springs and thought I felt something, but nothing had posted yet.

3.6 quake south of Banning, per USGS.

Worst case scenario by our local Red Cross back in about 1991 was a quake on Presidents Day weekend, following a substantial snow storm, and a town full of tourists.

Wish fulfillment?

I wasn't sure if that was an earthquake or a tree fell over nearby.

Was that nature trying to shake snow off the roof?

Wow, Van! 15"!! That's quite a bunch! We only got about 10 inches. The berm across the driveway is significant. As usual, I just finished clearing things well, and had put the snowblower away, and got bermed again. 😳
