OMG The Foothills are getting slammed. [View all]

Last edited Sun Feb 26, 2023, 12:23 AM - Edit history (1)

Just outside Yosemite. 18 inches of snow. Abandoned cars by Highway 49. Power has been out for many for a day, planned to be back on by late Monday. Yikes. Yosemite shut down till Wednesday.

Who has Newsom's phone number? This merits a disaster declaration and National Guard assistance. (IMNSHO)

I fled the area before the storm hit, for the Bay Area.

Nearby Merced and Fresno seem unaffected! Just rain now and then.
