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.
While notable this storm is no record breaker. I've seen a few bigger ones in the 32 years I've lived in the Reno Tahoe region. In January of 93 I worked at the hospital in South Lake Tahoe. That month they recorded over 17 feet of snow at Echo Summit...which is NOT the crest where the most snow falls.
"Only two nuclear families in the entire party—the Reeds and the Breens—made it through the horrible winter without a single death. According to a letter by Patty Reed, her family was the only one that refused to eat human flesh despite facing starvation."
The storm was underwhelming here at 2500'. Hardly enough snow to change the ground color. I did hear though up above that the snow was up to the bottom of the road signs. Snow mobile riding this year just received a great boost.
I was visiting relatives in Schenectady NY for Christmas some 20 years ago, and got caught in a Nor'easter. It was snowing at a rate of 6 inches per hour at one point, the weatherman was saying that's about as hard as it can snow.

ReplyDeleteMoisture from the Tonga volcano will continue to affect our weather for a good while.
