Storm front moving in brings flood watch to the Lodi area
Feb. 12—While the Lodi region received some respite from the rain this past weekend, another storm front is moving in tomorrow.
According to www.theweathernetwork.com, a private forecasting service, there is a 100% chance of rain coming to the Lodi area on Thursday, and a 60% chance on Friday. About two inches are expected to fall during that period. A flood watch will be in effect from 10 p.m. Wednesday through 10 p.m. Friday.
There have been about two inches of rainfall in the area during the first two weeks of February, and 8.57 inches so far this season, which is a couple of inches below the seasonal average (10.77 inches) to date.
With just two inches of rain expected, the region's two reservoirs will remain at less than full capacity.
Camanche Lake is currently 72% full at 300,550 acre-feet, according to the East Bay Municipal Utility District, and Pardee Reservoir is at 89% capacity with 182,200 acre-feet of water.
After a cold stretch to start the week that included near-freezing conditions on Tuesday morning, temperatures will reach into the lower 60s during the day on Thursday and drop to the high 40s Thursday evening. Temperatures will drop into the upper 30s by Friday night.
Saturday will be cloudy with a 30% chance of rain, and there is a 90% chance of precipitation Sunday. Weekend temperatures will be in the high 50s during the day and in the high 40s at night.
Sierra Nevada
The Sierra Nevada is forecast to get multiple feet of snow through Friday, according to meteorologist Bill Rasch.
Elevations as low as 3,000 feet could see small amounts of snow today. Higher elevations may get up to three inches.
The "main brunt" of the system is expected overnight Wednesday into Thursday, according to Rasch.
By the end of the week, he said, the Sierra Nevada could see three to five feet of snow.
"Travel will be extremely difficult mainly on Thursday," Rasch said.

Tulip Festival blooms with color at Wilson's Orchard
CUMMING, Iowa — A true sign of spring is when tulips are in full bloom, and Wilson's Orchard and Farm in Cumming is celebrating the season with its annual Tulip Festival. The festival kicked off this weekend with hundreds enjoying the spring-like weather in the fields of colorful tulips. Guests can visit the tulip field and even pick their own tulips. New this year is a Bouquet Bar inside the Farm Market, where pre-made bouquets are also available or guests can make their own bouquet from scratch at the bar. 'It's such a great feeling because you spend the winter all hunkered in and it's cold and you don't want to go outside, and then you get a chance to go outside and the weather is nice, tulips are blooming, and everything is great in life again,' said Paul Rasch, the owner of Wilson's Orchard and Farm. The Tulip Festival comes at an exciting time for Wilson's Orchard, because they recently opened the Play Barn. Rasch said the play barn was originally in Greenfield, Iowa. Before the devastating tornado ripped through town last year, his team was able to deconstruct the barn, and has now reconstructed it on their farm. In a Facebook post announcing the opening of the Play Barn, Wilson's Orchard wrote, 'By reusing and recycling this material, we're not only preserving our Midwestern heritage but also contributing to a greener future. Incorporating reclaimed barn wood into our structures helps protect Iowa's rural landscape and reduce waste.' The Play Barn is a three-story playground featuring climbing walls, a corn crib, and a 60-foot fast slide for children ages 3 to 16. Aside from tulips blooming, Rasch said their orchard is also in full bloom. This is a fleeting annual event that lasts around three days, triggered by the end of winter dormancy. Rasch said it's rare for apples and tulips to be in bloom at the same time. Guests are welcome to hike down the two mile stretch to the orchard to see the 15-acres of apple tress in bloom. Farm admission costs $5, which will allow guests to stroll through the tulip fields. To pick a dozen tulips there's an additional $18 charge. Pre-made bouquets without tulips cost $15 at the Bouquet Bar. Guests who choose to make their own bouquet at the bar can expect each flower to be priced per stem. The Play Barn admission costs $6. Wilson's Orchard and Farm is open 10 a.m. through 9 p.m. on weekends and 11 a.m. through 9 p.m. on Wednesdays, Thursday, and Fridays. They're located at 3201 15th Avenue in Cumming.

The Eldorado Sheriff gave him a lift back to his hotel after midnight. 'Heading out for a backcountry ride without proper navigation and survival gear can go well… until it doesn't.

We are here to help when you need it, but rescues always take a long time!'Freeride snowboarder Leon Butler has spent countless hours in the backcountry, something that's led to him competing in the Freeride World Tour. Back in 2020, he revealed his top seven tips to backcountry snowboarding in an article for Red Bull's blog. The number one rule? Never go alone."In theory, a route is never safe — that's the attitude you should have,' he said. 'There are many precautions and steps you should always take in order to assess the situation and surroundings. The most important is never move through mountains on your own; it's good to have other opinions on safety and never be afraid to turn around and go home."
