Frozen? :-)
To put it as ‘handsy’ joe biden might-——”One word. Giant Snow blower!” I got a little electric one this winter and am glad I did. It ain’t giant but it would handle a 10” snow fall decently. Throws the crap out of it. Even the wet stuff.
Looks like a spur off 395. Love that drive. Except at night. LOL!
Yeah, we need a trip to Incline Village in the next week or so over Mt.Rose. Maybe after this next round of storms.
That’s a reason for them to publish the news they will be open.
thanks
From downtown Bishop on Main St. (Hwy 395), turn west onto Line St. (Hwy 168) and drive about 5 miles toward the Sierra and you’ll find that view. The photo caption under the picture on the L.A Times website says it is close to Aspendell, but that’s another 10 miles up the road, it is actually very close to Bishop. 168 deadends at Lake Sabrina at around 9,500’ 15 miles from where that photo was taken.
I was pretty sure it was off 395 and not actually from there. Although there are awesome views along the way.
The spillway is leaking agaim.

From that story,
The $1.1 billion spent to repair
Oroville Dam is failing as water is seeping through the rebuilt spillway threatens new mass evacuations over the risk of the dam collapsing.
According to national dam expert Scott Cahill of Watershed Services of Ohio, Oroville Dam is on the same failure track as in 2017, with visible water seepage trickling from the foot of the dam and dozens of points along the dam’s principal spillway. Cahill warns that warming temperatures magnified by precipitation is a growing threat to the dam.
American Thinker reported on March 1 that the Sierra snow pack was at a record 113 inches, but another 44 inches fell in the next 10 days. With temperatures spiking this week to 75 degrees in the valleys and 41 degrees in the high mountains, dam inflows are running twice the outflows, and the water levels rose from 800 to 839 feet.
That’s OK, they are working a bullet train.
The spillway is not leaking. Bleed water is passing around the spillway gates as it has done since new when the water level is above the bottom of the spillway as it is now by 38’
Reviving an old thread.
Mammoth Ski Area will be open daily until August.
About a quarter of the trails and ski lifts open.
Global warming hoax postponed until the next federal funding cycle.
Well I’ve got a season pass.
