Thank you for your prompt resolution of that nefarious AD issue. It’s a win-win. I can tap on the ad. … Stillwell’s for example respond to the order request and then jump to Ben’s wx and feel comfortable that all is well again.
Now if you could just do something about that three foot snowplow berm blocking my driveway….another 20 degrees of melting?
bullet Kataleen on Friday 20 February 2026 - 18:56:22
What the latest snow amount? How much do we have so far this year?
bullet McToddy on Friday 20 February 2026 - 17:53:35
SCM out of curiosity, about how much (roughly). What is the latency like? Say there's one of those 5s spaz's... does it kick on just to turn back off, or does it kick if an outage is 30s or longer. Do you still use a UPS for sensitive equipment? Propane or natural gas?

Drove up hwy 18 from Lucerne about an hour ago around 415. No problem at all, road almost dry the whole way. Be safe though when it gets dark and some of the water freezes again.

Agreed Bosun! got a whole house gen back on 2011 and its paid itself back many times over! not to mention reduced stress.

Regarding power outages, we all know as long timers in BB, there's one thing all homeowners must have. A GENERATOR! What a novel idea. Bought mine 22 years ago and has been great. No more worries.

WX alert. My sincere apologies for not seeing your post. There were only a few homes near me that were affected by the power outage and they came up later last night and made a repair for just us few. I was grateful to have power again after spending a ridiculous amount of money on fuel for three days in my Generator.

Oh wow! I guess we just assumed it was the trucks since they seemed to be at the front of the line and it didn’t seem like the BMW should be the problem!

@ekeith it wasn’t the big rigs that were stuck. It was a BMW that got stuck. We were right behind the big rigs and a Caltrans truck was behind the BMW. After about 30 minutes, my husband in the Caltrans driver were able to get her moving along.

the roads are awful .....prepare accordingly if you don't have 4WD AND SNOW tires (not all season) then chains would be appropriate

If the massive ads covering the entire screen are a problem, try a different browser.

OperaGX is working for me. It's probably because I long ago turned on both the Desktop Site option and the included ad-blocker. Unlike with Chrome, OperaGX is applying those settings always.
bullet Ekeith on Friday 20 February 2026 - 09:33:41
2 Big rigs blocking highway 38 going up, there is technically enough room to squeak by going down at the time of posting this, but certainly not an ideal location. Couldn’t get a mile marker due to snow, but between 3- 5 miles up from angelus oaks.

Foxfarm icy and narrow roads. 4x4 good, but otherwise chain up.
