A FEW YEARS BACK
YA, A FEW YEARS BACK. THE FOG WAS SO THICK, PLANES WERE NOT COMING INTO RENO. I REMEMBER LOOKING OUT THE HOTEL ROOM WINDOW AND ONLY SEEING THE THICK WHITE FOG FROM THE 15TH FLOOR. THE GOOD THING WAS WE DID NOT HAVE TO LEAVE THE HOTEL.

A very active weather pattern will unfold across the Western States over the next few days, as a series of weather systems combine with a strong onshore flow of moisture. This will bring heavy rain and flooding, damaging winds, and feet of snow with blizzard conditions to parts of the West through the weekend. Heavy rain will increase over western Washington, western Oregon and the northern two-thirds of California. By later Friday into Saturday, heavy rain will also impact southern California. A widespread 3 to 5 inches of rain will be possible through the weekend, with some southwest facing mountains in California picking up more than 6 inches of rain. Flash flooding will be possible, over far western Washington, western Oregon, and a good part of California, especially in burn areas. Blizzard warnings have been posted by the National Weather Service, beginning today and continuing through early Saturday, for the Siskiyou and Sierra Nevada in California. This includes the Shasta Lake and South Lake Tahoe areas. Snow levels over northern and central areas of California will start at 4000 to 6000 feet Thursday, rise to between 4500 and 7000 feet, falling rapidly to valley floors later Friday. Levels will start around 7000 feet in southern areas, including Yosemite Park, then fall to between 4500 and 5000 feet Saturday. Snow will begin to develop today, and then increase tonight through Friday night. Snowfall rates of 3 to 6 inches per hour will be possible during the height of the storm. Snow totals through the weekend are expected to be potentially historic with as much as 2 to 6 feet expected, possibly more on the highest peaks. Up to a foot will fall down to valley floors over the northern areas. Wind gusts of 75 to 85 mph will be common across the southern Cascades,Sierra and western Nevada into the weekend. Ridgetop gusts in the Sierra could peak between 100 and 145 mph. Winds over 65 mph will also be possible for much of California, including lower elevations and coastal areas, as well as western sections of Washington and Oregon and interior parts of the West from Wyoming through Nevada.
