IAW yer Memorial Day memories ? In >June< of 98, at Shaver Lake.. We had Lightning & Thunder, Hail, Rain, Sleet, Snow and Killer Winds.. all in 1 day The Sierra weather can be purdy crazy, fer shur.
I left Ca in Dec 98 so I lived there through the crazy El Niño years. I remember getting 30 to 40 inches of rain each winter and how the hydrologists said it would take years to come back from the drought we were in and shortly after that statement was made the flood gates were blown off the top of Folsom, New Melones on the Stanislaus, Pardee and Camanche on the Mokelumne, New Hogan on the Calaveras were all at or above flood stage, (not to mention what went on further north at Shasta, Oroville etc etc) and the Sacremento/San Joaqine Delta was left a mess. It was definetly an awe inspiring show of what Mother Nature has up her sleeves when she gets a little bit snitty.
