Snow on the Playa?

Post by MrMullen » Tue Jan 11, 2005 4:21 pm

I just saw on TV that it has snowed something like 4 feet of snow has fallen in Reno. Does this mean there is snow on the Playa?

How about Snowingman?

Check out the weather link - says Winnemucca is under "Heavy Snow Warning" and that closer to Gerlach is "Hazardous Weather Outlook" for what it's worth-

www.wrh.noaa.gov/rev/

Well, there's not a "Snowingman" that I know of, but some Coloradans occasionally do the "Freezingman"

Water usually pools and freezes on the playa. But I have never been there during the winter months. Reno did get quite a barrage of snow though, more than I can ever recall.
I am a bit tied up at the moment...but if you leave your name and number.....

Yep. I met with an elderly longtime local here today and he told me there had not been a snowstorm like this since 1912.
