Just started raining / SNOWING ❄️here in the Sierras

Temperatures dropping fast though. Ha! I literally looked at the weather channel on my phone and it says it's 41, but I'm looking outside and I see flurries!

The radar looks pretty thick too for the next couple hours they said a few inches ....holy shit this is our first "real" snow!

I'm sure the gusts are at least 50 over The ridges if not higher made my windows rattle and the house shook a bit!

Big storms like this when they blow in or always so exciting! By March I'm totally fucking over it but the first one is always fun 🤪

I grew up on the east coast, but I've lived here since 1969. It's my home.

Placerville is getting hit pretty hard but the rain clouds stretch from there south to at least Angels Camp, and north towards Truckee. I also see traffic having problems going over I-80 towards Reno.

Good luck
