Soggy in Tahoe

Oh Tahoe, you are very confused this year. Cold but no snow? Warm and rainy? Climate change or global warming, any way you look at it, this has not been a good season for snow lovers in California.

On Saturday, it rained at the base of Homewood, with wet snow falling at the top. My gloves were soaked through and through - they were dripping. Bone chilling cold that reminded me of sledding as a child on the east coast and being very cold without a clue that I might freeze to death. Now, I'm old enough to know better but continued snowboarding until there was just no way to avoid the obvious - it's raining and the snow is cement. William in fact was cold and fell over bruising his chest and ego. I went down runs by myself with not another soul around. I had visions of bears coming out of the trees confused as to why I wasn't by a fire. They'd be hungry and happy that I was dumb enough to venture out. The snow was too wet to turn in, or I was too tired to do it - either way, I kept falling over laughing.

That night it got colder and actually snowed. The next day, I learned how to put chains on my tires and drive in the snow. The conditions were better but I was tired from the day before, so continued to fall over laughing at every turn. Sincerely, Soggy in Tahoe
