We should at least get a dusting.
We got an early dusting last month. This was what the dog thought of it:
IOW, dang! Not this stuff again.

Just noticed you are from Placerville. I lived in Outingdale in 1946-47, near Youngs. Are you familiar with the names ? It was wilderness in those days and I loved the winters there even though it was my job to cut 8 chords of wood before the winter came. We were all (5 families) snowed in for 3 months that year. Mom's 30 model A ford coupe was the first to make it out for grocery supply after 3 months of being stranded. Wood was our only heat and we had no electricity or plumbing. Going to Placerville once a year was big time for us kids. I went to a school (Mount Akum ?) 3 miles over the mountain that had first through 8th grade with only one teacher in one room building. Loved that place ! Many memories, your a lucky man to live there.Winter storm warning for the Sierras and the Sierra foothills for Tuesday, red flag warning for Monday.

I do know where Outingdale is, but have not heard of Youngs. That area is an up and coming wine producer so wineries are popping up everywhere. I live in the town of El Dorado next door to Diamond Springs and Placerville.

I remember the grape orchards all along the way from Sacramento to Outingdale. I need to return one day before I cant. Hopefully that will be soon when I go to Wa and Or to see my two kids up there and to visit with Vance @4wheelspulling !

Thanks, I don't think I will visit you for a few days. Stay warm, hope you have a nice fireplace to enjoy. Time to drag out the bear skin rug !

Well down here in the valley it’s just gonna rain, But I definitely need to hurry up and finish getting my tires on so I can go up in the hills and get stuck in the snow
I wish we had snow. Here in North Texas we used to get at least one decent snow every winter and now we have been in a 4 year snow drought. I have no hope for any snow or ice this winter.

You might get a little surprise this year, weather's been freaky everywhere.

And we're at a greater disadvantage for snow. We got about ~2.5 inches back in December of 2008 and about 4 inches a couple years ago.
I too, wish for snow this winter.

Winter is off to a dry start here in Southern Idaho, but the forecast is calling for 6-8 through Friday.
