Usually, inclement weather means it's time to hunker down indoors. But it's good to get a hike in, stretch your back and legs and revel in this rare Norcal sight of waterflow.

Let's get out there and photograph water or snow on its way down.

State time and location please.

p.s. clear debris and standing water if you can.

I got out to Sanborn Park, just 15 minutes from the house. This creek was just about dry 1 month ago.

There's at least two feet of snow at twin gates. I've got my skis for a couple runs down the steeps.

The mountains were coated in 10" of wet, heavy, Sierra cement and the wind was howling across the ridges. Crowds were very light and it was an exhausting but fun day on the mountain.

I 80 and the sierra crest ski areas have been closed since Christmas Day due to power outages, zero vis white outs, and general challenging blizzard conditions. Be safe out there!

Tahoe is getting dumped on if you are lucky enough to be up there and enjoy winter sports.

someone turned the snow knob to 11! Too much for resorts to handle between digging out the lifts and avalanche risk.

Got to ride Mt. Hamilton Road on Dec 27. Parked at Grant Ranch (where hundreds of cars where getting turned around), as the road above was closed. Took a couple of ebikes which is really ideal since one can carry ski clothes for the descent!!!

Truly amazing experience with about a foot of snow.
