No big storms on the horizon for Lake Tahoe
Submitted by paula on Tue, 03/05/2024 - 9:58am
SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - As many are in the middle of the "Big Dig" after the recent blizzard, there are some thoughts about the upcoming forecast. Luckily for Lake Tahoe residents, the next system due Tuesday is heading north of I80, with concerns for those in Lassen county, and a chance of snow to the south in Mono County. As we escape this one, it looks like things will be totally cleared out on Friday as a small ridge develops. But, sorry, don't get too comfortable with those sunny skies and no wind yet.

US50 at Echo reopens; update on other roads around Lake Tahoe
Submitted by paula on Sun, 03/03/2024 - 8:26am
From Caltrans: This morning's situation on US50 on Echo Summit is what they say is "a sluff," not a slide. It was in the bluffs east of the summit on the lake side, not in the avalanche zone. This is an area of steep rocks and the snow will shed naturally. It was about 3 feet of snow in the westbound lane. There were no injuries and crews were able to clear it quickly, in about a half hour. It's a common occurrence amplified by the rapid and substantial snowfall. Caltrans plow/patrol trucks can handle the majority of these sluffs.

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.
