Joost's Bay Area Basecamp

Andy from The Unofficial Alpine Meadows Ski Report comes with some good news today:

I have returned to Lake Tahoe to witness the sky darken, temperatures drop, winds howl, and rain or snow fall to the ground. The weather people say this will continue for a day or two with snow levels dropping as time moves along. No one is predicting enough snow to begin the ski season, but the ground is cooling and the possibility seems to be in the air. Perhaps we will luck out and have a few slopes available for Thanksgiving.

Not as good as last year when we made our first tracks on October 30, but I don't complain :)
