Re: [IceHorses] California Folks?
At home in Ben Lomond in the Santa Cruz Mts we have recorded 10+ inches beginning Thursday evening. Never lost power for long, but friends in Lompico and Love Creek area have been without power for 3+ days as of yesterday. Lin - Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile.

Try the Sierra mountains and the ski resorts. Heavenly Mountain near Lake Tahoe shows a big spike during the storm (http://cdec.water.ca.gov/jspplot/jspPlotServlet.jsp? sensor_no=11696&end=01/08/2008+08: 13&geom=small&interval=30&cookies=cdec02), and Mammouth Mountain in the eastern sierra reports 6-8 FEET of new powder from the storm (http://www.mammothmountain.com/index.cfm). All of this is good news for California since much of the state depends on Sierra snow pack melt for its water.

>>more densely populated hillsides of Marin County and the 101 corridor got most of the coverage on TV. We're ready for the next wave and feeling so smug because we didn't lose power at any time. I love Marin County! I lived in Ignacio back in the late 80's. I hope this weather blows over...soon. Raven

That was Kirkwood, a ski area that is very high in elevation. They are thrilled as last year was a bust for the ski areas. Now they just have to be sure there are no avalanche dangers ( they blow up and set them off before a skier does) and the crowds will go crazy once they can get up there safely. It is raining hard again here. Ann Bodega CA (the rainy coast)

A light dusting of snow on the highest peaks. The more densely populated hillsides of Marin County and the 101 corridor got most of the coverage on TV. It said on our news that someplace in CA got 11 FEET of snow - I grew up in northern OH and we got some big snows but I just can't imagine 11 feet. -- Laree in NC Doppa & Mura Simon, Sadie and Sam (the "S" gang) "Yet when all the books have been read and reread, it boils down to the horse, his human companion, and what goes on between them." - William Farley
Re: [IceHorses] California Folks?
Here in Sonoma in northern California we got a good 8" of rain but a nice break in the storm to allow for run-off so the creeks didn't jump their banks. Our winds at about 40 mph were calm compared to some other areas. A light dusting of snow on the highest peaks. The more densely populated hillsides of Marin County and the 101 corridor got most of the coverage on TV. We're ready for the next wave and feeling so smug because we didn't lose power at any time.

Re: [IceHorses] California Folks?
We were without power for about 36 hours. The wind was amazing. The rain and bits of debris hurt when they hit me. We have a lot of water and mud but we are on the top of a sandy ridge and will drain quickly. Penny Sent from my iPhone

We are lucky because a nearby town has an estimate of another week. We had lots of rain (5 inches) and lost a tree but all the horses and other animals are just fine. The wind was the big problem here, when it was gusting, my sliding glass doors were visibly bending and water came into the house under them. The news mentioned on it was similar to a hurricane.

You would think that I could go out down 67 to Scripps Poway because there was not any fire there recently since the Cedar fire. My horse is still up in Warner Springs. No snow on Palomar Mountain so that is good so far just rain. It has drizzled all night and no wind. Sylvia **Start the year off right.

> Is everyone okay? It is raining, but not really really bad. It was consistent all night, so we do have some puddles, and there was a little wind, but none now.
