A little winter
Despite bold statements to the contrary, I didn't ride today - it looked like a bit too much weather to enjoy riding in. But, I was curious about whether there was snow or not, so I took a trip up Foresthill Road (it looked like it from 2000 feet here, but I had to get up IN it!)
The weather was lowering on Sawtooth Ridge across the river.
At 6,000 feet, there was a fair amount of snow sticking, except to the road.
A view towards Snow Mountain (living up to its name).
At Robinson Flat, someone has plowed up towards Duncan Peak, but I didn't follow it too far.
Almost June!
Some powder for Eric.
At Sailor Flat Road, a snow flurry.
It was fun anyway, and I explored some stuff around Foresthill that I probably would not have if I had the quad with me.
It's going to be a cold start to the Memorial Day weekend! I think I'll ride on Sunday!
PS: I posted the following on FB, thought you might enjoy it here. It's last night, when the clouds started coming in about sunset:

Re: A little winter
Thanks, but we picked up about 1" earlier and it is snowing again right now. The holiday crowds who head up for camping and boating must be bummed.hemingray wrote: Some powder for Eric.

Re: A little winter
There was a lot of traffic heading east around noon when I headed out - otherwise I might have ended up at Donner!
BTW - in the picture of the road at Robinson Flat - when we rode from Soda, we got stopped just around the next corner.

Re: A little winter
Miserable Memorial weather has happened pretty regularly lately
The last words spoken before a YouTube video is filmed: "Hold my beer, now watch this..."

Yeah, that looks miserable! I don't know what's worse: getting soaked in crappy weather or drinking cheap piss beer in a can.Ken wrote:Miserable Memorial weather has happened pretty regularly lately
It was snowing when I woke up this morning, we now have a couple inches on the ground. Over at my old house they probably got closer to a foot. Last Memorial Day weekend we got 1-2 feet of cold dry powder and KT-22 on Squaw was outstanding the next day. Crazy...

First of all...Mr. Eric....we weren't soaked. Perfectly dry inside our gear. Secondly, Tecate in a can, is about as good as you can get in a can.
Lastly....maybe the magnetic pole is reversing.....and we're slowly becoming the Southern Hemisphere...and we don't know it.
