    March 2, 2019 @ 8:30 am – 4:00 pm-ish

    This will be our 2nd official (but 3rd in reality) snow patrol.

    Meeting at subway/shell station in Pollock Pines, off of the Sly Park and Hwy 50 exit. Meet at 830, drivers meeting and sign-in, leave by 9.

    Pollock Pines Subway/Shell Station
    6529 Pony Express Trail
    Pollock Pines
    CA 95726

    Please post below if you are attending.

    UPDATE:

    This run will be our chili cookoff.  Post up if you are attending as well as if you will be cooking chili so contestants know how much to bring.  Votes will be counted towards the end of the run and the winner will get a prize.  I am putting together a prize pack and so far it includes a tool bag and a couple bottles of wine.

    So I'm hoping to be on one of these next 2 patrols with my family. I won't be doing any wheeling but we will be having a fire with Smores and hot chocolate

    Ok we are definitely in for this one we won't be a part of the chili cook off but we won't mind being judges...

    We will be bringing tons of stuff for Smores, tons of hot chocolate and maybe some dogs for those who want chili-dogs and a fire pit and firewood.

    Being that we have been gone for so lo g this is going to be like a coming home day for us to see our posse family I sure hope to see everyone there

    I'll be there, and I might even try my hand at some chili.  I will know on the chili in a week or so for sure.

    So long and thanks for all the fish!!! `·.¸¸.·´¯`·.. >`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸>`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.. >

    Ok just dug out all our snow gear and sleds, my firepit and started gathering wood and bought a ton of chocolate, marshmallows and graham crackers we are getting ready for this snow trip!

    I'll still get some hotdogs and buns with mustard and hot chocolate for the day in the snow

    I sure hope to see as many of our posse family out there for this trip as it's been a long long time since we've been out as a family

    We are planning to attend, pending the weather that's forecast to remain questionable, which cancelled the chili on the last run. Let's all keep an eye on this, since it could be a last minute decision.

    Kathy and I will be having breakfast at Buttercup Pantry on Main Street in Placerville across from the Shell gas station.  We should be there around 7:30 - 7:45 if anyone would like to join us.

    So long and thanks for all the fish!!! `·.¸¸.·´¯`·.. >`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸>`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.. >

    Mike, I hate to miss this run and seeing you and your family again but I'm painting the interior of our house and I need to get our guest room painted before new furniture gets delivered on Tuesday. Have a great time!

    Well if it rains it's just going to be me and my older boys but I should be around more often but I still don't have my trail rig done so I'm hoping to get that done sooner over later.

    But I'll be around every chance I can be now that we're hitting the 1 year mark...

    I am actively watching for forecast and it is still a mixed bag.  Current predictions are for 2ft of fresh on MET tonight and then mixed conditions going into the weekend.  The temps are looking higher so it should be more traditional sierra cement with a 50/50 chance of rain/snow (likely slush).  Not currently seeing enough to call off the chili but may consider if the forecast gets worse.

    I'll have a 10'x10'  EZ-up for any cooking under, that's where I'll have my fire with hotdogs and Smores

    I just heard the weather report on the radio coming in to work & looked at the online National Weather Service for Sly park (& above) & it looks to be now a "winter storm watch" with 80/90% rain/snow for Friday night/Saturday. This looks to be another weather event & would suggest to watch it closely. We still don't have our Jeep back from our venture to the previous snow patrol, so we would take out truck. If the weather is dumping, no joy for us. Be aware of the black ice section(s)!

    It is looking like it will be light snow or rain at our typical parking spot as this is turing out to be a warm storm.  Please still dress warmly but plan on it raining a bit. Bring your EZ-ups. For those planning on going snow wheeling up the hill just not that it will be storm conditions and will be snowing further up.  Since there will be rain the lower snow will likely melt so people trying to get to kirkwood will again be a concern.
