Snow is Melting

Rain in Northern California Friday and Saturday. Avalanche Warnings close Hwy 88 until 23:00 on Sat Night. All roads re-open with chain control on Sunday. Partly cloudy skies forecasted. Ingredients for another amazing snow day in Tahoe?

Surprisingly the conditions on Sunday were good, but not great. As seen by the picture I took on the ridgeline between the back and frontside of Kirkwood, much of the new snow quickly melted because it was unusually warm (high at 48 degrees). There was no snow on any of the trees and the overall snow base seemed noticeably lower than that of last time (you can see little tree tops and rocks jutting out).

With the snow melting, I guess Spring is here, which means Baseball season is just around the corner. My basketball picks were completely wrong, so I am looking forward to moving on to baseball. I've gone to many Giants games since they opened Pac Bell Park, but have never experienced the game from McCovey Cove. Hopefully I'll get a chance to sit back and experience a game in a rented Kayak just beyond right field (I doubt there'll be any more splash HR's with a non-roided Barry Bonds)
