Good morning!

Snow on the mountain this morning, about five inches so far and still falling steadily.

Heavy wet snow. If it was colder we would likely have a foot by now.

I found the website that goes with the video I posted. It shows the specs for the engine that resides in the Mustang.

GOOD MORNING.
We got a little rain around 5 am. But it is cloudy & warm 41 degrees. Looks like the sun maybe coming our way, when I look west I see blue skies.

Bruce, I have gotten to the point that I don't believe the weather people at all. They have no idea. It always amazes me that the better equipment & training the worse they predict the weather @ least anywhere out of Reno/Tahoe area. The difference sometime between the weather in Reno & 60 miles east here in Fallon is not even close to what they predict. In the 60s there was a weatherman on Channel 8 Tom Lilly & he was the last weatherman that could predict with a great deal of accuracy weather in Rural Nevada. I can remember 3 years ago in Elko NOAA from there Elko office predicted snow & blowing winds @ 7am in the morning for that day starting @ around noon continuing through the night. At 2pm, 4pm, 11pm, & at 7am the next morning we still had SUNSHINE/clear skies & NO WIND & never had it. I even remember going on there site & seeing the temp. in Elko was 13 degrees @ a certain time. I was in Elko & it was 38 degrees. One thing I'm sure of is when Reno starts predicting a big storm coming it might be big in your area but out of your area it turns out to be nothing. Most of the time it isn't even a big storm in your area. When you have to get prepared is when they tell you it is going to be nice, with warm temps, sunshine.
So go figure.
Craig
