Be sure and carry blankets and cold weather shoes and clothing. A jack-knifed big rig can close that pass in a heartbeat, and it could be hours
before it is cleared!
If you are stuck, and run your engine for the heater, make sure your exhaust is flowing freely and not building up a pocket of carbon monoxide for the
heater to circulate.
It took me over five hours to get from Donner Summit to Grass Valley once, which should have been less than an hour!
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

It's really not looking good for Donner Pass between SACTO and RENO:

Hey David, let me know when you figure out the difference between climate and weather. That would be an excellent starting point in your education!

Funny how many deniers follow weather sites and then say the science is bad with regards to climate change. Same scientists
Hope you didn't take out a loan for University of Youtube

I am not a "denier", but-----. My understanding is there are "Climatologists" and there are "Meteorologists" ---------2 different professions.
"Weather" is predicted short-term by Meteorologists (sp?). Climatologists are more concerned with very long-term Climate trends, and study long-term
trends over thousands and millions of years as determined by evidence available. (-:

A small-talk thread about the weather went off the rails when dk went political on post 4 (look quick, dk will go back and delete evidence of his war
on xmas  )
Woke!

It wasn't political, it was truth. You can't pay for a different climate unless it is to move yourself to one!

Chain control is in effect over Donner Summit this morning. It was shut down off and on yesterday due to spin outs and traffic jams caused by them.
Stay tuned, more snow is on the way, with the forecast snow level going down to as low as 1000 feet tomorrow!

I-80 closed!
From Colfax, to the Nevada state line, I-80 is closed due to heavy snow and near zero visibility!
I have not heard what the rainfall here in Grass Valley has been, but based on conditions here at my house, and the flooding creeks, I am guessing
three or four inches minimum!

Good morning from Palm 🏜️ Desert!;
Clear blue skies, wind from the east, snow on the mountain.
Will be driving home today and getting back to work on the new Viva Baja.com edits.
