Some of you who have moved here relatively recently are probably thinking you are living through unprecedented weather. Others of us who have been here awhile are thinking “this is just like the 1980s!” Whether this feels like a huge challenge, an adventure, or a little of both, we hope you are not feeling isolated and without help. I (Chris) am comfortably camping out in our daughter’s house in Grass Valley, with power, internet, food, and plowed driveway. I’d welcome a call or email from any of you if I can help you with anything.
Carolyn is a little more housebound with an icy driveway, but she also has power and internet. Please, reach out to us for any reason! (Well no, I can’t come over and plow your driveway...)
For information about what services are available in Nevada County, don’t forget 2-1-1 can give you info about dozens of county resources. And yubanet.com or radio station KVMR89.5FM can give you the latest on road conditions, business closures, forecasts, and all things Nevada County.
