katabatic Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Your yin to my yang. Calm before the storm here. Finally made it to Donner Summit last night - and now looking at a forecast for the ages. The pic is the entrance to my Airbnb condo. Will be interesting to see what it looks like post storm. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not joking here….i hope the structure you’re in is sound. After they got pummeled last yr, I’m sure some structures have some unfixed weaknesses. Dropping 10 ft of snow on a roof takes a toll. That being said, enjoy and send pics! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where it snows so much they call 32-38" a snow shower. How much is a snow flurry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AU74 Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 My power went out at about 7:20 not long after the thundstorms swept though. Last time I could get the Pepco website to respond it said they'll restore it by 10:00. Not sure I believe it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are at Donner? Wow man enjoy the snow! Enjoy that 8 to 10 feet, take long leisurely jebwalks and dig massive amounts of snow! I will tell ya what that place will look like post storm. You will be forced to dig like a BADGER just to get out of that building. You are about to be DEMOLISHED by snow SO BAD! Hope you are stocked up! Don't end up like the Andes survivors in 1972 lmfao!
