I can see the snow from here, 89 miles away. I've NEVER seen so much white snow all over those mountain tops. The word is it will be there at least through July 2006 or longer.

We are changing our WSCB Saturday Drive plans a bit (Backup plan) to not go towards Mt. Rose if there is snow melt on the roads; and there probably wll be. The neat thing about the Sparks-Reno basin area is you don't get all the snow but your are surrounded by beautiful mountain ranges off in the distance. We are looking towards driving out towards Pyramid lake instead, as another option.
