Geez, we made it back just in the nick of time. Where the accidents were last night on Interstate 80 is where the freeway was closed this morning due to flooding. Then, a mud slide on I-80 near Truckee. Those of us living in the I-80 corridor aren't going east or west for a while.

Sheesh! This storm is a humdinger! Part of our fence blew over last night. I think it's a good thing we got our three towering sweet gums trimmed this fall!

Oy! You Kalifornians! The weather must explain this as well.
Mad chihuahuas!
(For those of you that don't know, I was a Kalifornian until about 2.5 months ago!)
Seriously, I have been following your trials and tribulations via the 'net, fondly remembering the events of New Years Eve 1996-97, a night I barely made it home due to flooding.
...yellow, now in the land of mixed rain and snow...

The chihuahua bit made us laugh harder...I can just picture the officer's face as he was rushed by the pack. "Stop! Police! Off! Off you viscious mongrels!" DH said, "What, he didn't shoot them? He must really have been under attack." Originally Posted by cindysue

Oh, and nothing so strange EVER happens in Utah...
Anyhoo, back to the subject: weather!

All of you people be careful. I'm watching the news and it is awful. Be sure to wear your "swimmies" when you're cycling!
