Stormy weather
The brunt of the Pineapple Express passed by last evening. The rivers are
a few feet below what is considered flood stage but still very high and Highway 9 is closed to our south.
Temps should be dropping by Tuesday with more precip on the way so good for the mountain people. Lots of snow.
There is a lot of cold weather around -- the politicians visiting Cancun enjoyed the
coldest temperatures in 100 years.

New Cold Blast Invading Eastern U.S. Even More Brutal
While not everyone across the eastern half of the country is dealing with snow or a blizzard this weekend, they will all be facing brutal cold soon if not already.
The coldest air of the season yet is headed for these regions and could end up being the coldest of the entire winter. Many records, especially nighttime lows across the Southeast, will be broken early this week.
Painfully cold, arctic air sweeping across the Midwest has already been driving temperatures well-below zero. Temperatures will remain or plunge back below zero in the Upper Midwest with lows between 10 and 20 below zero across much of Iowa, Minnesota, western Wisconsin and the eastern Dakotas tonight.
Tonight into Monday, the bitter cold will overspread the rest of the eastern half of the country, creating a flash freeze in many places where a storm has made roads wet or slushy. While actual temperatures may not fall below zero, horrendous winds will make it feel that way for millions.
More people die from the cold than from the heat. A little warming would be a wonderful thing...
