it snowed

Grab your bear can or camp chair, kick your feet up and chew the fat about anything Sierra Nevada related that doesn't quite fit in any of the other forums. Within reason, (and the HST rules and guidelines) this is also an anything goes forum. Tell stories, discuss wilderness issues, music, or whatever else the High Sierra stirs up in your mind.

Actually this is to be expected! The first Big Storm of the season historically occurs before Thanksgiving. Not that a few inches of white stuff is a major event, but any time now, any time...

It should also keep snowing. If you've got snow-free goals in the Sierra, this weekend looks like your last chance.
