Arnold, CA...From a reader.."Good evening, I was hoping you could please put the word out.. Many burglaries have been occurring in Arnold lately. (Right now it's Pine Dr. and that side of Meadowmont) More so than usual! Just this morning we woke up to our truck ransacked and minor stuff being stolen. I have now heard several reports of people having their whole Trucks, full of work tools stolen. Along with other random big equipment such as wood splitters and chainsaws, and other household tools. Even gasoline has been siphoned out of delivery trucks from our local businesses. These thieves are so low they have even stolen from our community churches and charities. I realize this is nothing new, but right now, these people are desperate and that's scary!"

We should pick up another 1-3" today as the storm presses through and most of that accumulation should fall before noon today.The high is expected to be around 31F and then dropping to 21F around 5pm as the cold air mass arrives on the backside of this system. Winds today will be out of the SW in the am then shifting to the North later in the day and wind speeds could reach up into the mid 20's. Dry weather returns tomorrow as high pressure again sets in place which looks to keep Christmas Eve/Day dry at this time. The global models are not agreeing on next weeks system mid week so nothing else on that just yet. stay tunes..........We're about "Pure Mtn Fun" so come check us out this Winter !!!!!
