Yeah we are fine in Reno/Sparks. Fernley is East of us and I believe a bit lower. I just went through there last weekend on the bike. This set of storms was a very wet one, when it first started we were getting heavy rain with 50 mph constant wind. Then I saw the biggest snowflakes I have ever seen, literally the size of silver dollars. They were leaving bums on the ground. I guess they got 11 feet in the Sierras, and the base of them is only about 15 miles from here. Anyway where I live, if it floods at my house I better be prepared to see Noah float by. I live on a hill that is at least 500 feet above the valley floor and 5000 feet.

Well the last of any decent weather for a while was today so I figured I would go for a ride for a few hours. But looking at the temp gauge on my mirror it says 37 degrees. So I hit the sporting goods store for some extreme cold socks, some base pants, and a neck warmer
So equipped with that some heated gloves I went to brave the cold. Still my legs got cold, this bike just doesn't get warm. But I did a 160 mile ride and it sure was relaxing. The roads suck all of them are covered with gravel, water, and ice. But still it was great. As soon as the sun went down things were much cooler. The neck warmer works great, really make it easy to turn your head in the cold. I can't wait for spring to put some serious miles on this thing once again.
