    One must stay in their comfort zone. But do it out of experience, not ignorance!

    Sac up to Corning is clear (on RADAR) but it appears the storm is "sitting" on the slopes.

    5 is closed at Yreka for some odd reason. I think it's because Oregon is staggering the traffic coming down (north). But hey, I'm in Florida nursing a beer right now. I'm wearing shorts today...

    This morning (before 0700) had one of our drivers call and say they were stopped at Canyonville (SB) due to "issues" on the tops of the 3 grades north of Grass Valley. Haven't heard anything lately about Siskiyou, but it is still showing chains required for south traffic.
