Life has given me an opportunity to live in several different parts of the U.S. Weather can change dramatically almost anywhere. I think some of the most unusual weather events I've experienced was while living in California. We lived in Sacramento and my wife's brother and his wife from Kansas City visited us there. This was in the fall and still warm in Sacramento. Daily temps were 80 degrees plus. Being close to Lake Tahoe they wanted to go see the area. We left our home around 9 in the morning and went to the South Shore area, the Casinos you know. At around 1 we're having lunch and it's starting to rain lightly. They're wanting to look around some more and I'm watching the temperature outside. When it got into the 30 degree range I told them we have to leave NOW. I have been up there and seen the weather change from beach and water ski type day to snow storms before the sun goes down. This was becoming one of those days. We headed north to Incline Village NV. and it's starting to stick, maybe a 1/2 inch. We got to State Line and it's getting real stick. Remember I'm a "Flatlander" with Good Year GT tires, all but worthless in any type of snow. We fell in behind an 18 Wheeler heading toward Donner Pass and I'm driving in his tracks for traction. The CHP at Donner Summit is giving me a dirty look but he's trying to keep those who don't know how to drive in the snow out of the ditches. After Donner it's down hill the rest of the way down the mountain. So we're heading down an 8%+ grade in an inch of snow with summer tires. We get to our house and had a BBQ beside the pool that evening. As for Kansas the saying goes "if you don't like the weather just wait, it'll change" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what we say in New England. You know - that crazy New England weather! But seriously, that saying can be applied to many, many places around the globe (especially within the last several years). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
