Confused...you have to realise that the Central Valley gets probably 12" of rain a year on average. Some years as low as about 7". We are in a rain shadow of the Coastal Range. And we get most of our rain Oct through May or so. The rest of the months it's bone dry with an occasaional storm. This year has pretty much been insane as far as weather goes.

What Skinner said[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Rain is good[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] but snow is better[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

We prefer more snow[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] then rain[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] Snow melts and is caught in the reservoirs to feed our thirst and irrigation needs[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

My coworker went to check the road the other day up to his cabin (Beasore Rd) up above Bass Lake. He's got a '97 F-250 4x4 (460 though) with a small lift, I think (it sits level with our F-450). He went around a corner and found snow as high as his hood. He walked up to it and it was ice. Solid. He's thinking he'll get into his cabin Spring of 2006. LOL

Yeah i was just up there. There is ALOT of snow. I tried to make it to Fresno Dome but that was a no go. Then i took the road over to Beasore to see how far i could get and couldnt even make it to the Central Camp turn off. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]
Im guessing another month before ittll be totally passable!

Confused...it's probably 6000'. Most places are clear to close to 6000' though. Not sure what this rain did to the situation. It was cold last night, but not too cold. Might have just made more glaciers up there on the road.
