Condor Posted December 26, 2011 Share #1 Posted December 26, 2011 There is nothing up around Tahoe so far this winter, and if Mother Nature doesn't get with the picture we're going to have a long dry summer. The snow pack in the Sierras is our summer water supply. We did get a series of storms roll thru the area a couple of months ago, but any snow produced has melted off. Haven't seen anything like this since '73 and the draugt of '74-'75. Hope we have another March Miracle... http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i16/Cirquerider/2011/2011-12-18%20no%20snow/nosnow096.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

friesman Posted December 26, 2011 Share #3 Posted December 26, 2011 We have our first brown Christmas here in quite a few years and temps have been around or above 40f for a few days now. its only my 2nd time ever getting a bike ride in December. BUT after last winters record cold and record snowfall, it is a welcome break and will help get our ground water back to normal levels. For the first winter ever the dams are still running open after last years melt and spring rainfalls to bring water levels back to normal so we dont have a repeat of the flooding if we do finally get snow this winter. Brian Ps Jack, I hope you get your snow, but I would be fine if ours stays away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G7mag Posted December 26, 2011 Share #8 Posted December 26, 2011 We have had the first brown Christmas in a long time here in NW Iowa. Kind of nice for a change. Even went for a couple hr. ride this afternoon. I've never ridden the end of December before. If the weather holds next weekend, we can get out and ride on New Years day!

Flyinfool Posted December 27, 2011 Share #9 Posted December 27, 2011 Yup, the flowage near where I hunt has been down for so long that there is grass, brush and small trees growing on the lakebed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99silver Posted December 27, 2011 Share #10 Posted December 27, 2011 Brown here as well and only 5-6 inches so far this winter, after the last two winters I'm not complaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone Eagle Posted December 29, 2011 Share #12 Posted December 29, 2011 Whatcha doing Sunday - yup - New Years Day?? Sacramento Chapter is hosting a ride - I'll be coming up for the fun of it. We may be riding for a while, though - in search of the white stuff - . The meeting location should be fairly close to your house. The annual STAR 153 Polar Bear ride is on!!! Sunday Jan. 1st, we will meet up at the Dennys in Newcastle which is located at Highway 80 and Newcastle road. KSU at 10am and come early for breakfast. What a way to kick off the New Year with a fun ride led by our very own "Paparazzi" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pegasus1300 Posted December 29, 2011 Share #14 Posted December 29, 2011 Pretty brown here in Utah as well. last year we thought the snow woulod never go away. Could get real dry here this summer too.The ski resorts have all resorted to making their own snow.Blue skies and 50 degree weather,maybe us Utah riders ought to get together on Monday for a little ride,what you think Dave?
