A few of our off-duty meteorologists ventured to the Blue Canyon airport weather station today on snowshoes (KBLU, elev 5280'). For reference, our meteorologist in the photo is 5'9" and the fence in the background is roughly 9' to 10'. More snow on the way tomorrow... ☃️ #CAwx

The storm that is bringing us rain, wind, and heavy mountain snow today takes on the look of a classic low pressure system with the center spinning off the West Coast! #cawx

It’s #MemorialDay weekend and we hope your plans do not include visiting the river to swim. On Wednesday, we, along with our county partners, held a press conference to reiterate how deadly the river is at this time. Story: tinyurl.com/2wfkjbp9 #PCSO #PlacerCounty #beriverwise

On this Memorial Weekend kickoff Friday, please remember the rivers are especially high, fast, and cold this year - and not safe to be in right now. Have a SAFE Memorial Weekend and #stayoutstayalive

Have you ever wondered what an overflowing weir looks like? Some of our forecasters did, so they went to go check out the Fremont Weir. Water that spills over the Fremont Weir flows into the Yolo Bypass, serving as flood protection for the Sac Metro Area. #Cawx

Tip 15: Your bathtub has more uses than just for taking baths! Fill up your bathtub to store extra water during an emergency. #NatlPrep #CAwx

One of our forecasters captured the Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS this evening! Look over the western horizon if you are in a dark enough area and hopefully you can too! #CAwx

As temperatures warm up this week, keep in mind that area waterways are running very COLD! Wear a life jacket during water activities, never go on the water alone, & keep a close eye on children. #cawx
