Lassen looks to be on the cold side of the storm. Still heavy snow but it's tempting to head up that way and poke around.

hey people, visiting some old friends this weekend in tahoe, sad about the weather conditions, but them the breaks i guess.
seeing that skiing is likely off the table:
quick questions, i kind of need exercise everyday; will be staying in truckee area 1) is there a good spot to go running along the lake? i dont mind driving or wet feet. 2) i have a winter wetsuit and all that fun stuff, is there a place to rent surf boards if the wind picks up? i havent really looked into surfing the lake at all, and im not even sure if its feasible with this particular storm, google only led me to SUP rentals.

I assume you mean Donner Lake? The run around the lake is 7 miles (all paved), some running along Donner Pass Road but there's a bike lane. Park on DPR east of the lake near the state park entrance, run west along the road past the lake and then left on South Shore Drive and through the park. Or start by heading into the state park and do an out-and-back on the south side of the lake (avoids running on the main road).
Not by a lake but Emigrant Trail is a good low elevation trail run, out and back so you can go however long you want. It's dirt though so it might be muddy this weekend.
A little further away - there's a bike trail between Squaw and Tahoe City, about 5 miles each way.

Running around donner lake you can also run on gravel if you prefer--at least on Donner Pass Rd. Forgive me for stating the obvious but if you run on the bike trails please face traffic so you can see the bikes--there's a lot of them out these days. (only gapers like me ride on the bike trail along 89--serious bike riders use the road shoulders. Despite signs every few hundred feet telling people to ride right, walk left people still can't figure it out. One woman thought she was on the proper side because the sign on the pavement said to walk in that lane--except the sign was reading from the other direction. No accounting for the stupidity of tourists. Rant over).

I think Sunday could be pretty damned good. Saturday might even be, especially in the afternoon. But this is a hard one to be sure about. The predictions I'm seeing suggest less than 1* difference between 6000 and 10000 feet. That means we could get six feet of snow, six inches of rain, or some combination.
Break out your funshapes....
