It finally started snowing up in Tahoe! Not much/enough but it’s a start.

I remember finding snow depth information on Yahoo! Weather last year but can’t find it today.

However they do have snow alerts. I selected Northern California where you can pick up to 10 resorts. You can also specify the minimum snowfall to trigger the alert, I chose 5 inches. 3 delivery methods are available: Email, mobile phone and Yahoo! Messenger. No RSS. I picked email (will have to set up a filter I guess).

You can manage your alerts (turn on/off, edit, remove) and there are tons of other alerts available.

I also found Ski Bonk which overlays snow information over a map of the area. Very nice.

I’m ready for the snow! Bring it on!

The rain is back today after about 6 months of sunshine. This means 3 things:

  • Traffic collapses in Silicon Valley. The drivers here freak out when the streets are wet!
  • I need a new car – or at least new tires… ;)
  • Winter and snowboarding is not too far away!

I actually like a little bit of rain from time to time. It cleans the air and the clouds are pretty and make the sky way more beautiful.

Also, full moon is coming up soon! It’s the little things in life that get me excited :) .

How short was summer this year!?!
