A bear could fart and pg@e would shut the power off
Nature bats last….. but it’s always a home-run. Enjoy.
no this will just be a normal power outage, hopefully power will be back on by Thursday AM.
Stock up on Beer?
I think the marine forecast is more accurate for winter winds in downtown Redway than the Garberville forecast. I think the wind tends to amplify in river valleys. Or at least in Redway. They’re more likely to report expected gusts on the marine forecast as well.
Gusts possible up to 60 knots per hour, which translates to 69MPH;

its forecasted to be westerly. its an odd direction for peak winds in these counter-clockwise rotating storms, normally its south.
windy dot com is super reliable. ymmv
We just cleaned our gutters and got our yard winter ready! Procrastination is definitely my strong suit when it comes to that kind of stuff. Better late then never. Stay warm Humboldt ☺️
Why are we calling this “bad weather”? We have been complaining it’s a drought for months and when rain is finally on the horizon, we complain and spread doom & gloom. Go figure?
Holy frozen snowman balls! Brrr!!

meanwhile back at the ranch
“Just got worst?” It may be worse than before, but it ain’t “worst.” Even if the temp dropped to -25 degrees, it still wouldn’t qualify as worst, but it sure would be close.
Thank you. Fixed.
Shoot, forgot to clean my gutters… I’ll get them tomorrow morning ???
Snowing on the Trinity river in western Trinity. Started about 8:30am.
Storm is already here. It has been snowing at my home down river from Orleans at about 500 foot elevation for past hour plus. Going to be a long cold Thanksgiving holiday weekend.
