A month ago we were sweating it out. Yesterday we were shivering all day in sweatshirts and long pants!

You are alive! I slept about 20 of the 24 hours after I bowed out. i would have been a liability.

It was 36 degrees here this morning.

I'm going with El Droughto so far for the year.
This latest storm has only dropped 0.19 of an inch so far.
Forecast for the weekend looks iffy with a brief clear window suggested for Sunday.
Time to climb some clean faces and maybe get in a little rebolting in the soon-to-be closure affected areas

Don’t say the shy is falling just yet.

New weather trend is for good and then bad.

Yeah, the dry nice weather was nice.

It can rain all January since I am working.

Truly from famine to feast today as Pinns is getting hammered by an inch of rain so far and winds near 20mph for the last 7 hours. Waterfalls will be damn cool tomorrow (and probably on Wednesday too) when it lets up.
If the forecast holds, Wednesday should be a perfect day for what I want to do...

I forgot how to climb but went to the gym anyways while it was raining to toprope 5.8s and 5.9. My grip was gone from carrying and then pinching to set 28 I-beams for retaining walls on Sunday. It felt good to stretch out on the plastic.

Translated that means 11+ and 12a at Pacific Edge. Good man!

They were 5.3s and 5.4s that I up-rated.

One house we lived in while growing up had a small canyon in the back yard. The canyon wall in that area was clay so when it was raining really hard we would go to the cliff edge then slide down while laying down like when riding a toboggan. It had a few banked turns and bumps and was a little steep so so the speeds got kind of wild. The end was a slight drop into the creek. Just had to maintain enough control do dodge the devils club branches. Real Mud-Tobogganing.

It looks like it my have finally quit raining.
Gauge started tipping at 2:30 am Monday morning and went from 1.03 to 3.35 - stopped tipping just two hours ago.

I wonder how many feet of snow fell in the Sierra...

mynameismud · « **Reply #177 on:** January 10, 2018, 12:15:31 PM »

That is a fair bit of rain. North facing slopes will be damp for a week

JC w KC redux · « **Reply #178 on:** January 11, 2018, 08:56:07 AM »

That might look like sun in the background but it is not. It was drizzly all day with no sun yesterday - no wind either.
There were streams flowing down some of the trails and I cut away some branches from a fallen tree to clear a short section of the Juniper Canyon trail. The little waterfall in the picture is the Resurrection cutoff.

Snow level never went below 7k.

Mammoth Crest got a fair bit up high, but 108 took a hit based on the forecasted amounts I saw for areas like Burst Rock.
