Happy Spring 2025

2 inches over night, more than I expected. Sunny, partly cloudy looks clean and fresh this morning.

Monte, Julie having fun getting some exercise?
 
I woke this morning to 12 to 14 inches and the house smelling of sourdough buttermilk cinnamon rolls baking in the oven. I wondered why she slipped out of bed a little early this morning. It's still dumping and she won't come back in. 2 hours on Lil' Red to do the usual clean up. Will be back out later as we watch the radar. Remember when you just looked outside?
 
Another 5" today. All of us got a good work out. More to come -
Tonight
Snow showers before midnight, then a chance of snow showers after 3am. The snow could be heavy at times. Some thunder is also possible. Low around 26. Southwest wind around 6 mph becoming south southeast after midnight. Chance of precipitation is 100%. Total nighttime snow accumulation of 2 to 4 inches possible.
Friday
Snow showers. High near 34. South southwest wind 11 to 16 mph, with gusts as high as 24 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 3 to 5 inches possible.
 
5" overnight and clean up is done. More today. Thus far a 6 gallons of diesel storm. Julie's stretching her back, getting ready for round 2 later.
Today
Snow showers. The snow could be heavy at times. High near 34. South southwest wind 11 to 16 mph, with gusts as high as 34 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. Total daytime snow accumulation of 3 to 5 inches possible.
Tonight
Snow showers likely, mainly before 3am. Cloudy, with a steady temperature around 33. Southwest wind 5 to 7 mph becoming calm in the evening. Chance of precipitation is 70%. New snow accumulation of less than one inch possible.
 
Yesterday the snow bombs sounded like thunder. We ran the big blower once to remove over a half foot of hard compacted snow from the driveway in front of the garage, bomb debris. It shakes the house when bombs hit the roof. Speaking of the roof. That's an after lunch chore - unload solar panels and clear back from the gutters for when the melt begins.
 
In Reno today, tonight and tomorrow. Snowing in Winnemucca when I left home before 0800. Heavier snow between Imlay and Rye Patch with pavement icing and blowing snow. Little traffic, so kept speed down to 60. Cloudy to Nightingale w/some peeks of sun and bits of blue sky beyond. Flurries in Reno to very early afternoon, then sun since. Just up from a nap in my suite. Nap induced by age and a prime rib early dinner at the Gold Dust West. :sleep::)

--------------------------------------------------

It was a struggle to walk out to close my gate going against the wind; it was a struggle to keep from being blown down and overshooting the house on the way back. My two vehicles are visibly rocking and bobbing in place. Dust and gravel stinging my face, visibility limited. Too noisy to talk to my wife walking beside me. Patio furniture has blown up against my fences. Fortunately my home, though exposed, is very quiet and a respite and refuge.
 
Today - Mostly cloudy, with a high near 47. West southwest wind 10 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 25 mph.

---------------------------------------

When I go outside, lots of mostly cloudy falls on my head; my dogs just came in shaking the mostly cloudy off of them in the house; there are lots of mostly cloudy puddles all over my property; and a torrent of mostly cloudy coming off my roof. :sneaky:
 
Still Monday, another crappy day and it wants snow some more! Typical Spring day-bah humbug! On a positive note, as a result of that new law that lets us feds finally get our full social security allotment and our pensions, I just a nice check from SS for $5400.00 and an increase of 450.00/month on my SS check and I woke up alive again, so I can spend it. Me and the Timber Dog and a nice walk in the hills today, now if I could just get the pop-up ready to WTW:giggle:!
