Wow, we actually got an inch of snow last night. This ended the longest winter drought in the recorded history of Reno—56 days without precipitation.

I was going to meet Nancy at Northstar for some skiing, but she said not to bother—everything was a sheet of ice with a little dusting of dry snow.

There were some nasty skiing accidents at Northstar today. We were holding some skis for the friend of an injured skier to pick up. When the friend came to get the skis, she told me about the accident: her friend simply fell forward on the ice and broke both shoulders.
