Arnold, CA...Crews are working a non-injury accident on Hwy 4 below Cottage Springs. A Jeep has overturned and all parties are out of the vehicle but an overturned Jeep off the roadway may affect traffic for a bit in this location as they remove it.

From Ham's Station on up on Hwy 88 and from just east of Strawberry on up on Hwy 108. Lets be careful out there..

Bear Valley, CA...Winter returns through Friday. Today Snow showers. High near 29. South southwest wind 18 to 21 mph, with gusts as high as 31 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. Total daytime snow accumulation of 3 to 7 inches possible. Tonight Snow showers likely. Cloudy, with a low around 16. South southwest wind 6 to 11 mph, with gusts as high as 18 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%. New snow accumulation of 1 to 2 inches possible. Thursday A 50 percent chance of snow showers. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 29. West southwest wind 6 to 11 mph. New snow accumulation of less than one inch possible...
Arnold, CA...As this series of systems starts rolling through the snow levels area dropping and currently we are looking at controls from Cooks Station on up on Hwy 88. One mile east of Arnold on Hwy 4 and 7 miles east of Strawberry on Hwy 108. Lets be careful out there. Remember your snow driving skills...Brakes are not your friend, shift down instead, leave plenty of space between vehicles and if there is snow on the roadway sometimes only a couple of miles an hour can make the difference from a safe trip to an unplanned off-road excursion.
The Inflation Investment You’ve Never Heard Of ~By Cory Burnell, MBA, CFA
Posted by: thepinetree on 03/06/2013 04:18 PM
Valley Springs, CA...Many investors are concerned about the risk of increased inflation in light of the Federal Reserve’s unprecedented balance sheet expansion from $900 billion to $3.1 trillion since 2008. This concern is warranted and begs the question how to invest to profit from inflation and protect one’s purchasing power. The most common answers are to invest in commodities such as precious metals, oil, gasoline, agriculture, etc., or Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS), and while these may be good answers are there any others? I’m glad you asked, because there’s one you’ve probably never considered. Senior secured floating rate loans (a.k.a. “Bank Loans”) have historically offered a relatively high correlation with inflation along with attractive returns. For example, in the 10-year period ended 9/30/2012 the Morningstar Bank Loan category had a 0.37 correlation with inflation while the DJ-UBS Commodity Index only provided a 0.24 correlation. Interestingly, U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS), typically purchased by investors to hedge inflation risks, only provided a 0.07 correlation with inflation.*
