With the season we've had in the Sierra, who wouldn't want an extra hour of sunshine to beat those end-of-winter blues? (Even if we might have to wait for sunshine and no snow for a few days)
Don’t forget to set any clocks that aren’t on a smart device ahead one hour before heading to bed Saturday night, and, if you're like me, it will take weeks to pull out the instructions on changing the clock in our cars and on the microwaves.

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - On Monday, August 21, 2017, a total solar eclipse will pass over the Pacific Northwest affecting the California solar resources supplying power to the grid. During the eclipse from 9:02 a.m. to 11:54 a.m., the moon will obscure much of the solar rays directly affecting the output of both large scale photovoltaic (PV) electric power plants and rooftop solar. A loss of 4,194 megawatts(MW) of California large scale solar electricity is expected.

In order to ensure motels and hotels being used as long term housing were kept decent, safe, sanitary, and affordable, the City of South Lake Tahoe has created a Single Room Occupancy (SRO) ordinance. At Tuesday's City Council meeting, the first reading received unanimous approval and support.
The ordinance gives the lodging community guidelines to follow if renting out units more than 30 days.
Safe and habitable units will be made available within the next twelve months once the design and maintenance standards are approved at the next council meeting June 16.
