If you’re driving up to Mi Wuk today, use extreme caution once you hit the snow level, around Twain Harte. There were lots of ‘slip and slide’ accidents on Highway 108 yesterday, all the way up to Dodge Ridge (per Brian, our UPS man-in-brown).

Here are some photos from our excursion to Twain Harte yesterday morning. You can call Russ and me c-r-a-z-y for going out at all when all news sources said to stay inside and off of the highways yesterday. The snow began in the early morning hours and continued all day.

Confidence Curve - uphill; eastbound 108 — This was the 3rd snowplow in a row driving downhill. Snowplow drivers earned their keep yesterday for sure.

Tree outside my kitchen window around 9 a.m. We gauge the snow by this tree.

It snowed most of Thursday which was beautiful–if you weren’t on the road. And today:

8.45 a.m., south-ish from our back deck. Our ‘tree gauge’ is in the right front.

Looking east from our back deck. 8.45 a.m. We haven’t seen sunshine on fresh snow like this for at least 4 years.

Have a safe and wonderful Christmas weekend.

My husband Russ and I have been full time Mi Wuk residents since 2003 and part time residents since 1987. Reality says that it's time to move on though and we'll be moving to Boise, Idaho at the end of 2019. I've been on the MAHA board for 'a long time' and am happy to be there so I can know what's going on in our community. I've also been on the MWSP Fire Protection District Fire Board since 2016 (or was it 2015?). You can always reach me at blythek@mac.com .
