kevin_standleeAlthough we didn't get any rain or snow here in Fernley, it wasn't far away.
The Pah Rah-Virginia Mountains got new snow overnight.
I-80 over Donner Summit was closed most of last night. Snow reached the western edge of Reno. Here in Fernley, all we got was wind and a lot of it. It was pretty cold wind as well. Temperatures got to near freezing, and between the wind and cold, neither Lisa nor I felt like tackling more of the yard work.
The wind did slacken off just enough this morning that I could run over to get some milk and other perishables without feeling like the Rolling Stone was going to be blown off the road. Also, for a short time this afternoon, Lisa and I could sit on the (slightly sheltered) front porch watching birds making their way back to the feeder. However, it was not long before the cold drove us back indoors. If it stays this cold any longer, I'm going to have the restart the fireplace again.
