    High Snow Levels, Powerful Winds, Heavy Rain at the Start of the Current Atmospheric River Event

    The wind and rain has been impressive, but snow levels remain high, as has been the case during many of our storms so far this winter.

    Final Images of 2024

    Final images of 2024 taken during a sunset skijor with two of our huskies. The snow was frozen and the dogs were happy to pull me across the meadow as fast as they could. By the time we reached the end of the meadow the light was beginning to change and some interesting cloud formations…

    Echo and Yuba Make National News During Tahoe Blizzard

    Echo can create her own path and power through almost any amount of snow but at 12 Yuba will wait for me to go first, which is understandable. After sharing this video during the Tahoe blizzard I signed an agreement with a licensing agency to distribute the footage. It was then shown on Fox News…

    Sierra Nevada Black and White Meadow/Mountain View, Clouds Moving in

    This image was taken yesterday in windy conditions just before sunset, as more threatening clouds moved in. I liked that there was more light hitting the peak in the distance than the other parts of the scene. Despite the unsettled weather we are not expecting much accumulation from these mini storms, but they tend to…

    Lake Tahoe Leap Year Blizzard Footage (2.28.24 – 3.2.24)
