1. As awful as it is for the residents, I am grateful for the snowpack.

3. I don't think the residents find it awful at all.

Many of them them live for this, and the rest expect it. (I speak as a former resident of the Tahoe Basin.)

4. My apologies. I seem to have been projecting my own perspective on the situation.

5. No need to apologize!

It may seem strange, but I wish I was there.

6. I've visited quite a lot in my younger years during all seasons. The Lake Tahoe area is very

beautiful, so I can understand your wish to be there.

2. Goddess knows it is desperately needed. I keep thinking about a 'toon JHB posted

recently: "Dear Santa, the Sierra needs a new blanket." The image is trees blanketed in snow.
