Hey folks look up! Look at your northern Horizon. There was a big solar flare Wednesday, now the corona mass ejection plasmas and magnetic fields are arriving tonight and through the weekend.
Get out look up and see the show? I’m Northern California the best viewing will be overnight from 1 to 4 AM, after the moon sets. Not to be missed. 😃

It’s Been HOT!
Be sure to ensure your animals can get out of the sun and have plenty of cool drinking water available at all times.
Yesterday it was 106 F / 41 C. at Sterling Creek Ranch.
The eight horses here drained three full water tanks consuming over 220 gallons of water.
Handy Tip: Dump rinse and refill your tanks early mornings and dusk so the animals can drink their fill of cool water. This helps them recover from the heat of the day.

Got Snow?! Where will all that water go when it melts this spring. We can only hope it won’t melt all at once or we will have flooding the likes we haven’t seen in California since the Gokd Rush days

The UC Berkeley Central Sierra Snowlab located in Soda Springs CA has measured an astonishing 562" or just under 47 ft of snow so far this season!
Note that this is not the current snow depth but overall what has fallen this season.
