There is a lot of hype around the incoming storm that starts tomorrow. Forecast models and forecasters are kind of all over the place. Not sure how much rain we'll see in West Marin, but it looks like we'll definitely see some. And more importantly, we're going to see a lot of wind. Wind knocks down trees which knocks out powerlines which knocks out power.
It may not be that big a deal, but be prepared in case it does turn into something nasty. Put gas in your car. Get ice in a cooler to save your food if you don't have a generator or battery. Grab some candles and batteries. Watch out for downed tree limbs and wires. Check in on neighbors who might need help.
The bigger story might be that there is a lot more rain after this storm and it will be wet and rivers running high for awhile.
Stay safe everyone.

The letter above is from local KWMR DJ and longtime Bolinas resident Ananda Brady and was delivered to Dennis Rodoni today. Service at the Bolinas post office was suspended today and residents will have to pick their mail up in Olema.
This message is from Bolinas resident Jeff Labovitz on NextDoor: "I have been corresponding with local government authorities about the eviction of the USPS since early December. They always respond "we are looking into it". The failure of government to protect the the entire community of Bolinas from the abuse of one greedy, and disgraceful property owner has no excuse despite all the babbling about "lawsuits" , USPS issues, etc.
It can only be summed up as the total lack of concern on the part of County, State and Federal offices with respect to that "go-it-alone" hippy community called BOLINAS.. How else can one explain the total lack of action against the calculated plot by Welch to extort Bolinas in the face of a groundless federal post office eviction and a lingering massive risky public health and safety hulk called the Waterhouse Building??
Answer:
"We'll get back to you on that..someday"....
Signed, Rodoni, Huffman, Newsome.."

Unstable weather is moving in. Heavy winds today with gusts up to 45mph. Then temperatures drop way down and there is the possibility of snowfall at lower elevations later in the week. According to Joe Soule, the last time there was snow in Point Reyes Station was in 2002. In 2011 there was snow on Mt. Tam.

Here is what is causing the power outage in Inverness and Inverness Park. The original pole on SFD between PRS and IP was hit by a car on Saturday night. They put a new one in on Sunday. It fell over today in the wind, they closed the road and turned the power off.
The road is open now. People in Inverness been notified by PG&E that the power will be back on at 11pm tonight, so I'm maybe they'll do work on this pole again later?

The levee road, which is SFD between Point Reyes Station and Inverness Park is closed both ways, use Bear Valley Rd. I’m guessing wires down which is why power is off in Inverness.

At the Nicasio Reservoir last week: "We saw a big explosion and then heard it a second later on Tuesday Night around 11PM. We couldn’t figure out what it was, until we saw the blown up Porta Potty yesterday. So messed up! So many people rely on those who work in the area, and who visit.." (Thx KJ)

Marin County is hosting a Zoom forum at 6pm tonight on the short-term rental moratorium, which is set to continue until mid-2024 or until a new ordinance supersedes it. If you have opinions either way, now is a good time to make your voice heard.
A group against the moratorium have put together a web site stating among other things: “Access to the parks and beaches is paramount. A variety of overnight accommodations is essential to these coastal, recreational experiences since most visitors travel from afar.”
