Springtime Snacks

May. 8, 2022

Back in the real world, if no one said drought, we would never imagine there was one. No one is watering this grass but Mother Nature, and this is late season grass by the way. High OR skies and confirmation clouds crown the robust California landscape.

Snow is coming to the Sierras tonight with up to 10 inches in some areas. There is a winter weather advisory and special weather statement for these winter weather conditions. Temperatures will be 15-25 degrees below normal.

Here in the mountains southwest of the Sierras, it will be freezing tonight, but snow will probably not make it this far south, although there is a small chance. The sky has been exceptionally clear these past days with hardly any flyers at all.

Abottle opener is a device that enables the removal of metal bottle caps from bottles.

A metal bottle cap is affixed to the rim of the neck of a bottle by being pleated or ruffled around the rim. A bottle opener is a specialized lever inserted beneath the pleated metalwork, which uses a point on the bottle cap as a fulcrum on which to pivot. $
