Arnold, CA....Just as the hard working PG&E crews had everything patched back up after the last storm another one is making its way into our area. The winds from the leading edge have knocked the power our for 1690 at this time. The bulk of the outages are in Amador & Calaveras. Tuolumne has a few isolated outages but no large outage blocks.
Arnold, CA...PG&E's power grid is experiencing widespread outages this morning with over 10,000 customers without power. The Hwy 4 corridor has outages from Angels Camp to Big Trees. There are also numerous outages in Tuolumne & Amador Counties. At this time though the largest number of outages are in Calaveras. Ironically Tuolumne & Amador experienced larger outages in the last storm so it seems to be our turn this time...

Arnold, Murphys & Sonora, CA...The SNAC Family Thanks You for Shopping Locally! Back in the early 90’s, when Shawn was selling out of the back of his truck as “The Eddy Mart”, the most important items to have on hand were life jackets, river shorts, sandals and river knives. Oh yes, and a few things the rafting customers would want, t-shirts, hats, sunscreen, etc. It became obvious that The Eddy Mart was getting too big to operate out of a garage when the whitewater kayaks came. It was time for a storefront. That’s when providence arrived on the scene.

This funding will allow Caltrans to repair or replace 16 bridges, 168 lane miles and 150 drainage systems statewide. In addition, 248 congestion reducing elements will be installed, including highway message signs, cameras and loop detectors to improve traffic flow. “As a new year begins, we continue our commitment to improve California’s highways, providing drivers with a smoother ride,” said Caltrans Director Laurie Berman. “SB 1 is not only allowing us to fix our highways and local roads, but it is also reducing congestion, which allows residents and visitors to get where they need to go more safely and reliably.”
