Those celebrating Leap Day birthdays and anniversaries in South Lake Tahoe include siblings
Submitted by paula on Wed, 02/28/2024 - 7:19pm
SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - Every trip around the sun is not exactly 365 days, so once every four years the calendar gets adjusted with "Leap Day." Ancient astronomers knew this but it took until the year 45 B.C. to add that extra day to the calendar. Julius Caesar declared that year to be "Ultimus annus confusions," the last year of confusion.
We're not sure about the confusion part ending though.
February 29 is Leap Day, and it only shows up on the calendar once every four years - the same year as the Summer Olympics and presidential election.

SNO-Parks offer safe and fun space to enjoy the snow around Lake Tahoe
Submitted by paula on Fri, 02/23/2024 - 11:01pm
There are 18 SNO-Parks on U.S. Forest Service land in California, ten in the Lake Tahoe Basin with many others just a short drive away.
