Could easily be snowing in Tecate and higher elevations. Not at all uncommon for this time of year.

BTW, an interesting choice for a handle, Chupa.

OOOOOPS.........forgot to mention the snow, or lack of it. I have a good shot of the Sierra from my place and they are bare although rain is forecast for later in the week along with really cold temps. That should leave us with a White Christmas in the mountains.

name change


I did send a couple of requests to Dennis to change the handle, but he never responded.

I would love to change the handle = = it is short for Chuparosa, and I had no idea of the translation.

Maybe now after all the Baja Gringo trauma, Dennis will have some time to consider my request.

today the snow level is 4600 ft in lagunas of east san diego, so lagunas in mexico should be seeing snow above 4600 ft this afternoon and evening.

the spm plateau is >8,000 ft elevation, and more often than not gets snow in every winter storm

Sorry, Dennis, got your name and Dave's confused. Lo Siento!

Hopefully now Dave will consider a change.
I had no idea there was a crude translation.

I have a local buddy in Mulege who is a mechanic, all his friends call him Chupatanke. He has a reputation for running out of gas alot.

No, don't tell newbies that... Nomad is NOT my web site... My web site is VivaBaja.com (see the link below?).

Doug Means IS BajaNomad, the jefe de Baja Nomad...his place... u2u him for issues or name changes. It can be done, perhaps if you hound him enough...

I am just the oldest (or longest active) guest here... Doug is a friend, and I registered right after he started this forum in 2002... I am Nomad #10 and Doug is #1... #2-9 never stayed on or ever posted here... just wild cyberspace members.
