Whiteout in Tahoe...

This beats ice and slush on the east coast. The storm went on for 2 days. It got me stranded up in Tahoe when all my mates wanted to stay there through the storm and I had to get back to SF for meetings and to fly home. Luckily I ran into a friend from NY who gave me a ride back to SF. We set off at 2pm on Sunday; by 4.30pm we had gone 2 miles from Squaw towards Truckee. So we turned back, had dinner at Plumpjack, and then set off again at 10pm. This time we got through. At the gas station in Auburn at midnight, we met a guy who had been sitting in his truck since 11am that morning.

The snow is fabulous but the consequences are hell.
