The storms you guys are dealing with hit here in N Nevada about a week ago. The ski resorts are very happy- especially with the timing of it all. There is over 15 feet at Mammoth & I have heard 9 feet to 12 feet in the Sierra Nevada west of me. We got 5 inches last Thursday ( 9 days ago) but it melted off on Fri & Sat. Just overnight cold & lots of overcast & HEAVY overnight frost on everything until today.
Filling horse water tanks right now, before more cold comes in this week. High of 30 or 32 forecast for next Sat & Sun. We have a horse event planned on Sat —outside—UGH!!I hate trying to stick in the saddle when I have 4 layers on!! But I have ridden many miles in that condition.
Most of us in this area have large animals & we do all of our planning around keeping them fed & watered.
Precipitation has been significantly downgraded here in the Washington DC area. Now they’re predicting only 1-2 inches. Winter storm warning for eastern part of the area is gone and we are now under winter storm advisory.
