A massive snowstorm Friday in Northern California could bring the state’s lengthy drought to end while leaving two feet of snow in the mountains near Los Angeles.

The Sierra Nevada Mountains has seen two feet of snow and winds gusting over 100 miles per hour. More than 22,000 Montecito residents evacuated their homes as rain continued to pound the area — California’s weather comes as a nor’easter clobbers parts of the East Coast.

“The worst of the storm has passed, and we are cautiously optimistic that due to a significant amount of pre-storm preparation we have come through this with minimal impact,” Rob Lewin, director of the Santa Barbara County Office of Emergency Management, said in a statement.

As with the heavy snows and runoff in the Sierras last year, the problem isn’t precipitation. The problem is storage. CA just lets it all flow to the ocean instead of building dams.

Stupid creates its own set of obstacles.

We are already getting big plump strawberries with great flavor! They are always planted on hills, so I don't think the rain would affect them much.

I'm sure thankful people do this tough work to bring us fresh food.

Mt Rose and Heavenly are both around 8,000 feet.

I wonder what it was like at 10,000 feet?

“News reported wind gusts to 150 mph at the ridge tops. YIKES!”

One of our adult off spring had a friend in the Tahoe area get blown of his feet and one in the DC area this past week, while trying to walk from their hotels to nearby restaurants.

He said both of these guys played tight end positions in college football and are built like rocks with telephone poles for legs.

Both were shook up and got some bruises to go with their bruised pride.

Boy did they need it
We were just at walleys near genoa and we’re going up to the meadow by Mr Rose to sled and Xc ski cause there was only show there
I rode my mtn bike in 1” of fresh power up to 7500 ft out of Genoa and the old road up to Daggett pass was open all the way up
There was no one in South h lake. It was stunning
Then it got cold and now it’s snow snow snow
I love snow
Cheers.

I'm sure thankful people do this tough work to bring us fresh food.

As long as they aren't Illegals, I'm thankful too!

Otherwise, they need to go back to their country of origin to do their hard work.
