@CHP Arrowhead:
As a gentle reminder….chains are required to be in possession if you are traveling through the mountain area. Chain installers will be on scene at chain control checkpoints during the day to assist with installs for a fee. Stay safe.

Knew shouldn't have gone out but wife stuck sideways up last street before 2N10. Thought she could beat it but 7200 ft a little different than SL. Probably close to a foot up there now. Been a while since the mountain took a piece of our pride 🤗. Hey, no one hurt, no insurance adjusters this time so all good. Will deal with it tomorrow when less of the vertically challenged are here and im not ready to move to the desert 🤣🤣. If you got to go, be ready for anything 🙏

Van, I'll be pulling out the snowblower tomorrow morning as well. The machine needs a workout after sitting idle for a long time (other than periodic maintenance). I ain't touching it until after a cup or two of Java.

I'm seeing 6" on our deck railing. We came home to BBCity from Eagle Point just after Van was reporting 5" in Sugarloaf. 5" on the streets and in the driveway. Thank goodness for AWD and years of experience. Plows are nowhere to be seen yet. We sure hope that everyone is home safe, and cozy with your loved ones.

Hi all, I got a solid 5" in Sugarloaf. There are drifts to about 8-9" in parts of the yard. By morning I may have to fire up the snow blower for the first time this year.

Thanks Van! We're not too far behind in town, looking at about 3-4"

and 29 degrees so the rest should be fluffier but the bottom wet layer is now solidifying. its a mess out there

closing in on 5" now

This will be some great moisture content. Nice wet snow, turning colder fast!

You know its winter when....

TRAFFIC HAZARD
BIG BEAR
HIGHWAY 38 at MAPLE LN
3:27PM [1] 8 VEHICLES BLOCKING ROADWAY TO PUT THEIR CHAINS ON

and we got .2" of rain before it changed to snow

We have 3 to 4” snow on our deck in Eagle Knolls. First time in 20 years that I’ve been able to be up here and relax and enjoy the snow and not work. I’m very blessed and very happy! Appreciate all the updates from all of you during winters past.

Awesome Van. Thank you! 2" in town. ❄️

Just under 4 inches here so far in Moonridge that piled up fast!

Finally started to switch over to pure snow here in Forest Falls. I was worried that we were going to have a lot of broken tree branches.
