As some of us know, California was in a drought. But it came out of it in 2022, full blast came out of the drought. The drought was alleged evidence of global warming, so it is proper to point out that now it is cooling as evidenced by the past several years and this winter, CA is in a climate cooling stage.
Here is what is happening in the Sierra Nevada mountains.
From the SF Chronicle.
A Winter Weather Advisory went into effect for the Central and Northern Sierra Wednesday afternoon and is set to last until 10 p.m. Thursday as up to 10 inches of snow are expected at elevations above 4,000 feet.
The National Weather Service warned drivers to expect slippery roads and travel delays — and around 7:30 p.m. Caltrans shut down westbound traffic on Highway 80 through Truckee due to "multiple spinouts."
As of 8 p.m., the agency had no estimate of when traffic would resume. Highway 89 was also shut down at Monitor Pass, a mountain road about 27 miles south of South Lake Tahoe near the Nevada border, according to California Highway Patrol. Further south, Highway 108 was closed in both directions in Mono County due to inclement weather with no expected opening time.
Highway 80 is a major highway that is in many states.
