Few Scenes from Mammoth

February 11th, 2011 Author:

For our first full day in the Eastern Sierra last week, we decided to head up to Mammoth Lakes for the day. Lynne wanted to see the town and the ski area. We took mom along with us and had an awesome day up there. Here are a few photos from the day. More to come later.

Winter Storm Warning for Owens Valley

January 2nd, 2011 Author:

A Winter Storm Warning has been posted for the Southern Sierra and Eastern Sierra including the Owens Valley and all of Inyo County.

The next winter storm is heading into the Sierra Nevada today and tonight as low pressure tracks south along the California coast. the storm is forecast to bring 6 – 12″ for areas near 4000 ft and 1-3 ft for the higher elevations. This will primarily be a Southern Sierra storm with the central and northern Sierra receiving less snow.

This storm is forecast to give the lower elevations in the Eastern Sierra a good shot of snow, this includes the Owens Valley. Snow levels will be around 2500 feet and 6 – 12″ of snow is expected above 3000 ft. The mountains in Inyo County, including those around Death Valley, could see from 18 – 24″ of snow.

The low snow levels will make traveling Highway 395 difficult for those leaving the Eastern Sierra and heading back to Southern California today and tomorrow. It’s possible that there could be snow all the way to Ridgecrest and then a rain/snow mix to Victorville on Hwy 395 and Lancaster/Palmdale on Hwy 14. Caution needs to be used while traveling these highways today.

Let’s Go Broncos!!

December 7th, 2010 Author:

On Friday night at the Bishop High School football field, the Bishop Broncos will be playing against Boron for the CIF Southern Section Northeast Division Championship. Bishop went 12-1 this year and has won it’s last 8 games.

It sounds like the town is going football crazy, and they should. The Broncos last championship was in 1957. In all of the years I lived in Bishop they made it into the playoffs many times only to get beat by the larger Southern California schools. Not this year though.

Here’s an LA Times article about the Broncos: Bishop High is going for Gold in Football

Here’s another article from Bishops local news: Broncos Roll Into Title Game

Wish I could be there Friday night. GO BRONCOS!!!
