Global warming causes frostbite. News at 11.
Worked at Sugar Bowl Ski resort, Donner Summit for 3 seasons back in the 80’s. The 1982 end of March blizzard was epic.
I have to be honest, it seems like it used to be. Nothing amazing, just good ol Winter. As a youngin, it’d be FANTASTIC! Get out the skis, play hooky from school!
As an old fart that feels the cold, sometimes it really sucks. Glad I finally bought a snow blower.

Climate Change, for sure, was the cause of this.

“King Snow” is ruling again over Donner
Long Pig BBQ.
Donner Pass is a great place for snacks and dinner....
The train just cracked me up.
That is jaw dropping!
I’m reading that there will be snow for at least another week or two.
That there will be enough to completely fill California’s reservoirs this year.

I grew up in South Lake. My while life it has been the same cycle. But now there is money to be had claiming the normal seasonal cycles are “catastrophic global climate catastrophe and the only thing that can save us is a powerful government and subsidies to huge corporation.”
I remember winters leaving the house from the second story balcony for weeks at a time.
Amazing. I still have the tire chains my Father had to buy when he drove thru there many years ago. They apparently sold them at some sort of chain “stand” or something and people had to put them on or turn around.
