nocal, nice link! I saved it. All the hatches are buttoned down, let it rain!

Took a drive over to Susanville today. Most of the way over, there was a misty swirling ghost like vapors being blown all over the road tops. I've seen that before but nothing like today...very fine ice crystals i'm thinking but not sure.

Guys....down here in Shasta Co (& Tehema) the ground has been so dry & hard, the poor pigs are starving. Got one a couple of weeks ago and not much fat on him. The Blackies are doing good though....seen some real good carryovers with several dropped their horns already.

Would like to see alittle break on Sunday when the 9ers take care of business!

sageadvice · Jan 19, 2012

nocal, Great report thanks!! Go Niners!!

We're up to about 10" to a foot of standing snow with it still coming down.

Winter? I checked the local forcast for where I am and it said 80-82 degrees everyday for the next 10 days. Sorry Sage.

sageadvice · Jan 19, 2012

"Sorry Sage" Yeah, Right!!! You're over there having a great time laughing your tail off!

Now all we need is Overton to pipe in with pic's of his island marlin!

Guys. i signed papers to buy a house today. Nothing new, really large, or all that special in fact it's a bit of a fixer upper. But, it's going to beat the heck out of renting, like i have been these past almost 20 years, there's a shop and a garage, and, i was able to take advantage of the depressed housing market and get a steal of a deal. The good news, i am able to pay all cash so there's no mortgage. The bad news, it's in Westwood 10-12 miles away toward Susanville and they actually get more snow than we get here! What was i thinking?? LOL

Congrats on the house. If the Dyer mt. ski area ever goes in your place will shoot way up in value. I wonder how many of the people that are against it, wish there were jobs from it right now? Naa who am I kidding. most of those people don't want a job.

Califelkslayer · Jan 20, 2012

Sage, I'm glad you got some snow. Nothing here, absolutely nothing. I'll bet we got less than a 1/4 inch of rain so far.

BUT according to NOAAs weather, my chukar spot I'm hunting tomorrow is to get 2-4 inches overnight and snow again tomorrow. Tracks I see will probably have birds in them.

I love NOAA. You can click on a spot on the map and they'll give you the weather for that exact spot. I'm not sure of the accuracy but lots of times when it forecasts rain at my house and snow in one of my chukar spots, I'll get rain and the huntin spot will get snow.

sageadvice · Jan 20, 2012

NECALI, Thanks! Yeah, the price was right. Not so much looking to make any money on the place as i am looking forward to not having to make monthly payments if they be rent or mortgage. I had a ladyfriend, a few years back, over there and spent a good deal of time there. We had great neighbors and i found the place nice enough. There's always going to be exceptions...

Slayer, NOAA's Weather. I did a serch and lots of great stuff there. I saved that site as well, thanks!!

So Far, just Rain today. A good deal of it! Let it Rain!!

Go Niners!!

LAST EDITED ON Jan-20-12 AT 01:34PM (MST)[p]Well Sage I'm a piss poor marlin fisherman. I just hope I have better luck with marlin next month.

eelgrass · Jan 20, 2012

overton, we all know Kilo is the Marlin fisherman.

Joey, congratulations on the house. I've always liked Westwood.

It's been pouring down rain for a few days now in Eureka. We needed it though. All our rivers were closed to steelhead for low flow but now we're looking at some time before they drop back down into shape.

Stay tuned, it could get ugly the way it's comming down today.

overton · Jan 20, 2012

Maybe Kilo is a good marlin fisherman but he doesn't know squat about a good football team.

NORKALNIMROD · Jan 20, 2012

Rains coming down hard and it's windy as all get out here in Janesville. Hopefully this will turn to snow by morning. If it does it will be get-back time on a limit of Chukar!....Just thinking positive!

Califelkslayer · Jan 20, 2012

DJ, good luck in the AM. Glenn tapped out due to the weather. I'm going anyways, regardless. BUT would like it to get colder.

The big flat I have to cross to get to my spot may be a lake tomorrow but "I'm going anyways."

Been pouring here since 4 PM. internet weather says 1/4 to 1/2 inch of percipitation overnight. That's alot for us.

NORKALNIMROD · Jan 20, 2012

Slayer,
If your heading where I think you are I am betting you're right.
Good luck!

Califelkslayer · Jan 21, 2012

I got up @ 5:00 AM and there was barely a skiff of snow here so I went back to sleep. Wind more than lack of snow.

BUT I have the next week off. Hoping to get some great photos..maybe some birds too.

NORKALNIMROD · Jan 21, 2012

Up at 0530. Windy...Ankle deep snow, blowing like mad! Birds spooky and jump'n wild! Took two shots, 1 bird. Rick got 2, Mike 0.
Oh well, hit it again Monday!

I wasn't complaining, except for the wind. I hate hot weather! Bring on the cold, and the snow!

And, GO NINERS!

i said in my last post, "It's been Raining hard all day and night here! Most all the snow that piled up from Thurs, it is Gone!!"

Well, it's piling up again, 4-5" of snow today and still coming down pretty good! Our higher elevations must have taken a huge dump with all this recent moisture.

NECALI · Jan 22, 2012

No big dump up high around Susanville. Rained most of the time.
We went up to the top of Diamond Mt. This afternoon on snowmobiles and there was only about 6" . Hopefully tonight they get some.

larrbo · Jan 23, 2012

Joey, I looked at the Chester live cam this morning and it looks like you got hammered with snow last night.

sageadvice · Jan 23, 2012

Yeah Larry, We got easy a foot of fresh stuff!!

82 degrees........

sageadvice · Jan 23, 2012

Sorry to hear that ol buddy! I'm sure you and the Wife will be able to make do....

As far as being wrong, i've never so often been as wrong as i have been since i joined MM and i'm finding out more and more how wrong i am almost daily!

Get back soon! I sent you to Hawaii so the Niners would win. Now that they didn't do so...we need to do us some fishin! lol
