They cancelled the waether statement for the Tahoe region. Looks like it's mostly headed for Yosemite.

General Discussion The hard freeze of several nights in a row really did a number on the leaves in the Tahoe area. On Hwy 88 in Hope Valley today they are looking kinda bedraggled. Not much color left.
I wonder if the same has happened in Lee Vining Canyon.

General Discussion Vince,
It's good to find someone with a taste for fine music. Also, I really liked your Ebbetts Pass Mooooovie.

General Discussion It'll be two weeks before I can go to Lee Vining. Probably all be over by then.

General Discussion We were on Hwy 108 Tuesday and Wednesday. The peaks had quite a bit of fresh snow and there was still evidence at the pass that the road had been plowed.

General Discussion They seem especially concerned about the wind up here. Asking people to secure patio and deck furniture and anything else that might blow away.
Now if you saw one of those big deck umbrellas flying through the air in line with your head that would definitely qualify as "Drastic." : )

General Discussion This forecast sounds more realistic than the one posted for Tahoe, which uses phrases such as "Drastic Change" and "Much Colder."

General Discussion The one that turns off US395 is what I was referring to. They seem to have kept that road in the same condition as Bodie itself...a state of arrested decay.

General Discussion It's been quite a few years since I was there. Is the unpaved part of the road still rough and full of potholes?

General Discussion They sure don't waste any time closing things down for the season.

General Discussion Seems like all those days during the fire when the power was off could have been used to do this.

General Discussion They have pushed their full containment to August 6th. That final 5% must be in an especially tough spot to deal with.

General Discussion I notice the webcams are updating again. Looks clear of smoke at this time.

General Discussion Good news...
The 7 AM CAL FIRE update says the fire is now 80% contained.

General Discussion I would think the bus company would simply switch their route to either Hwy 41 or Hwy 120, however, I suggest you contact them to be sure.

General Discussion Fires...earthquakes...never a dull moment, eh? The wind is out of the north here on the south shore of Tahoe and a little cooler.

General Discussion I saw a report that says the road will be closed again at 9 AM Tuesday. No indication as to how long. I don't know how accurate it is.
