Here in Northern California, we had our first storm of the season Thursday and Friday. It closed Interstate 80 all day, and I had to do some back-roads maneuvering yesterday to get around the detour. As Open Mike says, the storm should reduce our fire danger up here. I'm glad we took one last hike in the High Sierra last weekend, before it all got covered with snow. The snow got down to 3,000 feet. We're at 2,300, so all we got was much-needed rain.
It clouded out our chance of seeing Northern Lights, though - darn!
