Information
... COLD WINTER STORM TO BRING SNOW FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY...
.A VERY COLD STORM FROM CANADA WILL MOVE INTO THE REGION FRIDAY. THIS SYSTEM ALONG WITH COLD AIR ALREADY OVER THE AREA WILL BRING THE POTENTIAL FOR ACCUMULATING SNOW DOWN TO LOW ELEVATIONS FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY. SNOW AMOUNTS 1 TO 2 FEET POSSIBLE OVER THE HIGHER SIERRA, 3 TO 10 INCHES IN THE FOOTHILLS. THE NORTHERN SACRAMENTO VALLEY COULD GET UP TO 3 INCHES, WITH AROUND AN INCH ELSEWHERE IN THE VALLEY ABOVE 500 FEET.
I saw this too. What does the theater do in a situation like this if you live down the hill, don't have snow chain (or know how to use them), or have a 4-wheel drive....?
ReplyDeleteI would not be able to drive in this type of weather. So, I wasn't sure what the theater does.
If you need a ride by 4 wheel drive let people in the cast know. A lot of us have 4 wheel drive vehicles and we can arrange carpooling. I have not know them to cancel a show for this. It should be ok up to Placerville. Past Placerville downtown will most likely be the issue. They plow highway 50 very well when this happens.
ReplyDeleteWe are really worried about this forecast as well - we live in Amador (a good hour from the theater) in an unplowed mountainous area. If it is snowing heavily, we will not be able to get out of our driveway or get home that night. Is there a contact person or # we can call if it looks like we have to miss the show? We will make every effort to be there, but Mother Nature may have different plans.
