Frank,
Look on the bright side!
The Sierras in Northern California are getting pounded with snow! Kirkwood Ski resort in the Lake Tahoe area got
110" from the last storm they had
and they have 119"-179" on the ground now at the BASE of the mountain...and it's snowing now!(that's 10-15 feet).

Damn, I wish I was there...though Flagstaff here in Arizona looks pretty good,too!
There, now don't you feel better?
