The traffic camera at Daggett Summit shows it’s pretty murky up top on Kingsbury. I received another .37 inches of rain overnight, bringing my total to .67 inches so far from this storm.

Minden’s additional precipitation brought its calendar year total to 13.61 inches, just .23 inches short of the record for the first four months set in 2017. The water year has already exceeded the 2017 record 20 inches by more than a half inch when you add the last quarter of 2022.
The forecast calls for rain or snow before 11 a.m. with the snow level around 5,300 feet rising to 7,000 feet this afternoon. When the clouds clear some the high will reach 55 degrees without much in the way of wind this afternoon. The rain is sticking around until at least Saturday, according to the forecast.
