Big news. It's snowing

37chief · Feb 23, 2019

Big news it's snowing. Here in San Diego mountains almost everything has come to a stop. Schools have closed. The main freeway east, and west has trucks lined up for miles because of the closed freeway. Maybe some of you people back east should come and give some instructions on how to deal with snow. Any one interested? Stan

I'm from the East and can actually drive in it, it don't bother me a bit. I know they are a lot of folks from the East that's cant for sure. But you can keep it over your way. Ill just take the rain and the sun over here.

Record snow for Flagstaff over the last couple days. Talk about people who don?t know how to drive in snow. Lots of road closures and wrecks coming in off the interstates, I40 & I17.

I will be over that way on Wednesday, but I think it will be melted by then. Palm Springs is supposed to be in the upper 70's by the end of the week. We are not ready to go back to MN just yet!

In January, 1987, I drove through Flagstaff during a snow storm. There was 8" on the ground and still coming down. And I was bouncing around in my niece's little Mazda sports car.

I headed south out of Flagstaff towards Phoenix, and when I started down the southbound grade where signs say, "Trucks use low gear next 11 miles", I figured I'd be out of the snow by the time I got to the bottom of the grade and I was.

Yeah, The Wife?s ?90 Miata is tucked away in the garage until summer or at least late spring. Lots of vehicles out there that shouldn?t be just plugging the roadways. Hopefully the road crews will get a better grip on it today, supposed to be sunny.

If there is enough of it, and it is coming down fast enough, nobody can drive in it. Been there. Most recently, about 60 inches of lake effect snow at my place in 36 hours in Snowvember 2014. Others a few miles away got more.

Yep, very high maintenance.

You want to see comedy central come 600 miles to the northern part of calif. Every time it snows the city folks keep I 80 closed waiting for the tow trucks. If that’s not bad enough as soon as they hit the snow they stop in the road and start playing in it.

Snows in the Sierra Nevada, are very different beasts from snows in the Appalachians pr around the lakes.

I understand the trees the Donner party cut off are still 30 feet tall.

oldseabee · Feb 25, 2019

Don’t know how deep the snow fall was in the winter of 1846- 47 when the Donner party tried
to cross the pass. The worst winter I can remember was 1951-52, I was 10 but I worked with some
of the linemen later when I hired on with the power comp. This is a pic. of 60kv pole in 1952.
At an average of 411.5 inches (10.45 m) per year, Donner Pass is one of the snowiest places in the contiguous United States. Four times since 1880 total snowfall at Donner Summit has exceeded 775 inches (19.69 m) and topped 800 inches (20.32 m) in both 1938 and 1952.
