Storm Rolling into Bishop
Today while traveling from Reno back home, we went through the WONDERFUL early snow higher up 395, and then we found the storm rolling and roaring
into Bishop!
We can only hope that this early weather will be followed by a lot more --- the drought is so awful!
Let it snow, let it rain!

Holy Moses. Those clouds look like a wave. That must have been quite an experience. High drama.

Have been going through Bishop since 1949 (just a wee lad then). June Lake is a "second" home for me.

Thanks everyone --- yes, we love weather and a good storm; all kinds of storms. 
It was just beautiful when we saw if off in the east and had to wait for the first road east north of Bishop to get a bit closer. We lost some of
what we wanted to capture ---- as do all storms, it kept changing. It was a very dramatic scene.
We still love living here, and this morning it is so great to see the mountain tops covered in snow! Bring it on, please!

Some more of last summer's gentle showers to add to the mix. Very refreshing and very welcome to our farmers and
ranchers. We could not exist without them.

Beautiful photos of a place I know well. Most of the "rain" actually looks like virga.
Every beautiful beach in the world needs a few condo towers - NOT.

Thanks --- that is not a term with which I was familar, but John is. He is the geographer in the family. And yes, some of it was virga --- and I
am really happy to learn a new term for something I knew happened, but did not know had a name. THANK YOU.
It is a good place to know well.

No, it was actually on the back road on the east side that leads one to Vons. In this case, the foothills for the Whites instead of the Sierra
Nevada.

Followed your path today southbound on 395 and it didn't last. Snow high on the mountains but it was sunny and 55 in Bishop late this afternoon.
Here's hoping the next storm brings more fury.

Yes bkbend, the lower snow didn't really stick --- only at higher elevations. And as I look out at the Sierras this morning, it is melting even on
the high peaks ----
Yesterday was a magnificent blustery fall day with the leaves flying, clouds still hanging in some of the mountain valleys, and and cold enough in the
evening that we had to turn on the heater and had our first fire. LOVE IT.
Thanks Neal! When a storm comes into this area, it behaves so differently in different locations that are all close together. Great entertainment
for us!
