Long Duration Storm System Coming to Sierra Mtns

Kindly find a different URL when posting information from Wunderground, s'il vous plait...
...WINTER STORM WATCH IN EFFECT FROM LATE SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH
MONDAY EVENING FOR THE TAHOE BASIN ABOVE 7000 FEET...

* WHAT...For the Winter Weather Advisory for the Tahoe Basin above
7000 feet, wet snow. Snow accumulations of 6 to 12 inches with up
to 20 inches above 8,000 feet. Winds gusting as high as 90 mph.
For the Winter Storm Watch for the Tahoe Basin above 7000 feet,
heavy wet snow. Snow accumulations of 1 to 2 feet. Winds gusting
as high as 90 mph.
------------------
The above is just the first phase. Stormy weather will likely last until 7 February. Right now it looks like several warm periods will be entrained into the storm system and this will allow the Donner, Echo and other passes to open quickly after each heavy snow period. However, this could change. In any event, areas above 9000' may get 10' of snow.

The Weather Guessers 2 weeks ago were saying the Southeast (Miss, AL, GA) should be planning for another Snow/ICE Storm around Feb 8th.

Everybody enjoying this Global Warming? Because, according to their Global Warming Countdown Clock we only have 5 years left.

BUT WAIT.
Climate Cooling is also predicted to happen in 2030 (5 years from now, just like the Global Warming clock).

So which side of the Earth well be HOT as Hell, or Cold as a Well Diggers ass?

Also, don't forget we only have 89 seconds to live according to the Doomsday Clock. Which has also been wrong for 70+ years.
