Well, this sounds like things could get "spicy" here. Few people hereabouts are prepared for any significant snow. The last time we got more than about four inches, they called it the Snow-maggeddon.
“A significant winter storm will move into the region late Tuesday and persist into Friday. Very low snow levels to start with strong winds are expected. Snowfall will be possible down into the Northern Sacramento Valley late Tuesday into Wednesday morning with the cities of Redding and Red Bluff expected to receive multiple inches of snow. Snow levels will generally rise to 3000 ft or above Wednesday afternoon. An abundance of snow will be possible in the Sierra and southern Cascades with this storm that will make travel very difficult to impossible through Friday.”
Earthquake in Antarctica sparks panic in Chile
A strong 6.9-magnitude earthquake struck the Southern Ocean near Antarctica on Saturday, prompting a tsunami alert for areas which are virtually uninhabited, officials say. Small tsunami waves were reported but serious damage or injuries are not expected.
The earthquake happened at 8:37 p.m. Chilean time on Saturday and struck about 55 kilometers (34 miles) south of Elephant, a mountainous and ice-covered island in the outer reaches of the South Shetland Islands.
Chile’s interior ministry sent an alert to cellphones around the South American nation telling people to abandon the coastal region, sending people as far north as Santiago into a panic.
Officials later clarified that the alert was a false alarm.

AN SAS sniper fighting ISIS in Syria has taken out five jihadis with a single killer shot.
The attack took place in November during a kill or capture mission against Islamic State shaheeds.
A suicide bomber and four other jihadis - one of them a top commander - were killed when the bullet hit the bomber’s chest, detonating the bomb vest he was wearing.
The man behind the rifle was a sergeant with 20 years’ experience.
The SAS veteran wiped out the extremists using a Barrett .50 caliber rifle - the most powerful gun in their armory.
It is understood the SAS troops had been working with Kurdish fighters to find an ISIS unit responsible for attacks on villages in Syria.
The team had spent several days surveilling a suspected ISIS bomb factory.
Alarm was raised when they spotted five men leaving the building - one of which was filming the suicide bomber as he smiled (for the last time) and spoke (for the last time) to the camera.
Imagine what the video the shaheeds were filming showed right when the .50 BMG center-punched the head bad guy.
Allahu not so Akbar today, eh?
