-10-10 overcast, we are at about 4,500 ft (1,350m); the cloud level appears to be at about 6,000 ft (1,830 m) by my uncalibrated eyeball. I really need to get markers posted on the side of the mountain. There is a very wet front moving in from the San Francisco Bay region, eta midnight or thereabout so both CalTrans and Nevada DOT have scrapers and sand trucks on standby. Donner Pass might be closed but we'll probably only get mist and maybe slight snow sprinkles. I'm sure some idiots have forgotten how to drive in winter and will manage to cause a few crashes.
