..That link also has a video which includes how to decorate your K rails (Jersey Rails) for the holidays..


...This kind of weather also makes winter wheeling in So Cal much more exciting...

is that all ? lol

Woke up in Green River UT this AM to a 1/4 inch snow on the ground
Should make the drive to Denver interesting this morning.

Anyone seen our fearless winter time leader? Boomer?

 

[Tbars4]

...They are saying 8" of snow in Big Bear predicted..

..Boomer is probably getting all his sleds and disc ready for the downhill at his work...

I'm hearing more in the 1-2 ft range and that's just for the first storm. Sleds and tubes are currently on standby, and we picked up our 4x from the desert yesterday.

Only thing left is to charge the camera, and I'm ready...

 

[Tbars4]

...I'm hoping Ritsui and Khiori chime in too...

..:scratch:...I'm starting to wonder if they still take their sport out to play?..

..Boomer, what days do you get off and what days are your sled hill open for us???..

 

[Boomer12]

Still have Wed-Thurs off until we swap to "winter mode", then it'll be Thurs-Sat.

I'll try to get some runs going once we make the jump...

Just saw that Mammoth Mt. was having 90 mph wind's right now! Should make for a great ski season. And Ya! a day off tomorrow due to the rain!!! Probably go to the LA Auto Show!

 

[Tbars4]

..That reminds me...The Pomona Antique car parts sale was today and I was running all over Riverside and forgot about it..

..PaulB, be sure to take your camera with you...

..I will be doing some little odds and ends in Newport..

Darn should went my Buddy was there selling stuff or at least trying to
(ya know the one with the Tahoe scarred for life now)

 

[Tbars4]

...You need to call and remind him, the trails are much gentler in the winter...

 

[Tbars4]

...I's been raining steady for the past few hours down here...Enough to start worrying about those on the hill and at the bottom of the hills..

...It's really dropped temp in the last hour or so, so the mountains must be seeing some really good snow fall by now...

Just came from the burn areas, they issued warnings, and its been raining non stop since early this morning

 

[Stic-o]

It's preety chilli here, 10:30 this morning and it was only 45* outside

Could see some flurrys here in the tonight or early morning. Going to be in the 30's tonight here.

 

[cybergasm]

4-5 in. so far here in Big Bear, and no sign of it slowing down.

they just started evacuating people about 6 blocks north of me, because they are worried one of the catch basins is going to overflow

...They have been saying this evenings rain should bring 1/4-1" of rain per hour...Wednesdays rain is suppose to bring the biggest total...

...If I come into a lot of money for bills by wednesday (doubtful), I'm heading for the hills as I would suspect the roads to Big Bear will be closed but, the back side of the mountain would be fun...

 

[Stic-o]

Maybe I'll wait for the mudslides up above me, then go pull peoples cars out with Ex

I just talked to a client in Idaho (Sun Valley) and it is 10 deg. To cold to snow she said, but her horse's don't seem to mine the cold, they just stay out in it. I also did not go to the auto show today. To many traffic accident's on the freeway, and the freeway's were jamed. Maybe Thursday, that's the next rain out day.
