And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Storming up the hill right now
Fredonyer Summit, on the way down into Susanville.
Soda Springs on Highway 80. If there's any road they try to keep open during a storm, it's this one.
Snowing Hard at Twin Bridges now. It'll get worse over night.
I was visiting my Mom in Schenectady for Christmas, maybe 15 to 20 years ago, and a Nor'easter hit. At one point it was snowing at a rate of 6 inches per hour. The TV weatherman said that's about as fast as it can snow, I guess the air is saturated at that point. It was impressive to see.
California relies on natural gas for about 60% of its power-gen needs - assuming all their spinning-thingies and magic sun-shingles are working at full capacity.
“That’s the head of the nail,” Williamson said. “If we had plenty of gas in storage, this wouldn’t be happening. Now, everyone is a hostage.”
Most of England is getting snow and ice right now. Both Europe and the US are going to be burning a lot of fuel for the rest of the month - if they have it.
In 1966 I was coming down the hill into Susanville at night for the first time. It was all lit up like a scene out of a fairytale. The sawmill was still going full tilt then and even had a pond. Lived right across the street and boy could that stink.
Hwy 80 has been closed since 3:24 pm due to "ZERO VISIABILITY"
