In Marin (North Bay Area), we got only 3 inches of rain from the storm last night (they'd predicted a lot more), but 60mph winds. Probably another inch of rain over the next two days, a little more over the weekend, and another big storm coming in on Monday. 

(Funny off-topic story: My first year in graduate school at UC Davis, I recall one of the students in my shared office coming in saying that it was absolutely pouring rain outside (he was from SoCal). To those of us who grew up in the Bay Area, we'd just consider it "nuisance rain.")

I've not heard from my son; maybe he's out shoveling?

You might know of the Great Basin Unified Air Pollution Control District’s series of webcams, running from Coso Junction to Mono Lake and in between. Most concentration at all points around Owens Lake, including a couple above Keeler.

The Alert Wildfire system used to have two Keeler cams - one static and one constantly rotating, but apparently they took it down. Here is a static one from Lone Pine looking east at the Inyo’s.

There’s cameras in Olancha and Cartago, plus other cameras in Lone Pine. Some rotate, others are static.

The Alert system has cameras all over the west and just about on every Nevada mountain peak. Tons of cameras to get a feel for the weather and the views are often drop dead gorgeous. They even have one looking at Bodie from the hilltop southeast of the townsite, but sometimes it is moved around to look elsewhere.

Well our trip was cancelled late last March. I did a late Otocber trip at Texas Springs. with sister and her friend which was very hot.

Again we reserved FC(we trailer camp, hope to move back up to Texas Springs for four of the eight nights. Now that the park is open hope this works. Finally getting a winter up here and hopefully the temerpetrures in DV will be 80 plus as I like it!

Otherwise normal PNW stuff, central oregon at Camp Sherman cabin, get over to SE Oregon in the summer. Wine tasting trips to Ashland area, etc. Central/east gorge areas.
