Had a ~13hr power outage yesterday, hope those still without get restored soon. Looks like PGE is down to 20k affected from a high of 100k. After the Jan23 event where we lost power for almost a week, we started planning for a generac home backup system. That’s finally getting installed 12/30, so I feel like January is going to deliver something special

Send it this way.

Do they not allow you to drive On up to paradise ranger station now when it's snowing??? i see now they close the road whenever it is snowing for PUBLIC SAFETY!! OMG GIVE ME A BREAK. We used to drive up there all the time during winter storm warnings. Stop at gate, they ask if you have chains and off you go. I am tired of things like this, just taking our freedom a little bit here and there.

Gotta love a good olde' fashioned E.ND / NW MN Blizzard. Right down to the brass tacks for definition- METAR KGFK 181553Z 35033G53KT 1/8SM R35L/1200V1600FT +SN BLSN VV002 M16/M19 A2957 RMK AO2 PK WND 34055/1455 SLP030 P0003 T11611189 RVR (Runway Visual Range) at 1200V1600FT is the most a laser can see. The eye can't see that. Hence VIS at 1/8sm --- but very low for RVR regardless.
