It was quite a weekend in Susanville - not the actual visit, but the drive to get there was a bit white. On Friday, I ran several errands in town, and then picked Alli up from school at lunch. On our way out of town, Mom called and said that Highway 44 was closed - a jack-knifed truck was blocking both lanes of traffic. I wasn't very far out of town on Dersch, so I turned around, and headed down to Highway 36. According to Road Conditions, it was clear when I left Red Bluff, but by the time I got to Mineral, it was R2 conditions. The RAV is 4WD, and I have good tires, so I wasn't very worried. We just drove really slowly (the car in front of us was driving a lot slower than really needed, but....then again, we had no issues!) It took me almost 4 hours to get to Susanville.
The storm cleared up Friday night, and things were good - until another storm came through Saturday night. I think there was 4-5 inches of snow at Mom's on Sunday. Road Conditions had restrictions on all roads leading out, but around 11:00, they started easing them, so Alli and I left at 1:00 or so. The roads were completely clear! I don't think they were updating Road Conditions in a timely manner! The road were only wet - no snow anywhere, and Susanville had more snow than anywhere else. It figures!
