this below was the 1st day of the Christmas Storm
(they called 'a bomb'), like 4ft accumulation
we had stalled over US for a week or so 12/25/2021 to 1/1-2/2022...
we didn't loose power, but for only briefly, a couple hrs
I fired up the wood stove...
My cousin Stan had it way worse, only 11 miles upcountry
he had like 6ft+ in the 1st 2 days & lost power for 7 days
Lake Tahoe basin got like 15ft, it was a 50 y/o record broken
the storm prior (like a month earlier) was 7.5" of rain in 3 (-4 ?) days
(we usually get like 19"s of rain, in a whole season)
Thunder & lightning was really bad, we lost power, in that one,
trees downed all over, taking out powerlines, closing roads etc.
I hate the Devils Dandruff (snow)
when we get it,
it's feet not inches
thank god it goes/melts away relatively quickly,
usually
that last Christmas storm, it stuck around for about a month...
Normally here, it's gone in a wekk or so, before the next storm comes
& we fire up the generator for the fridge, micro & a few lights etc.
We get plenty of it,
it's just a lot nicer weather
between storms
It's about 61* today
, mostly clear sunny skies
