its been white out conditions all day. Gale-force winds keep beating against the windows.

There are car accidents all over. The 395 is closed from Lee Vining to Bridgeport and down to 1 lane at the Nevada state line.

Overturned tractor trailer on the Sherwin grade south of Tom's Place.

Be careful out there people. :eek: Them winds are vicious!

oh hell yes.

although, I must admit, getting down the mountain from work today was one of the scariest times I have had driving. The top gust at the top of the mtn today was 122 mph.

It was like being in a snow hurricane. Took 30 minutes to dig out the Suby. There was a 5 foot drift stuck like a barnacle to the leeward side of my car. It was IN SANE! So many accidents. So many idiots driving without lights on and 2WD without chains.

but I made it back alive.

The wind is un-fucking believable.

The BRO's will be happier than pigs in shit when the wind goes away and the trees beckon. :biggrin:
