From Gerry: Good news… “A new web server isn't necessary at this time. I now know the problem and the fix, but I can't work on it now as it'll take my internet offline and I need it for work. I should be able to get it back up soon (this evening or tomorrow?)… in the meantime, here's the latest picture.”

It started lightly snowing around 8:15 am, small flakes & some hail. Back to rain at 10:00am. The rest of the day was all cycles. Rain, then hail then snow and then repeat. The snow by the evening was very wet and heavy. It continued to snow & rain throughout the night, along with occasional strong gusty winds. The total snow accumulation for this storm is now 9”.

No snow yet! So, while conditions are good and there is access, the NPS will be conducting pile burning from Feb 10-March 15, 2025.

From the NPS:

Fire management staff at Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks are preparing to begin burning piles of cut vegetation in multiple locations throughout the parks. The work will be ongoing as conditions allow from Feb. 10 – March 15, 2025.

The upcoming pile burning will dispose of cut materials generated by restorative thinning and defensible space work conducted throughout the past two years. These projects provide zones of reduced fuels, which promote healthier conditions for giant sequoias
and other species, and provide protection for structures and popular visitation areas. The zones of reduced fuels also make for safer and more effective firefighting in the event of future unplanned wildfires and prepare the areas for possible broadcast prescribed
burns in the future.

Pile burning is planned in the Big Stump, Grant Grove, and Sequoia Creek areas of Kings Canyon National Park, as well as at established slash dumps in the Ash Mountain, Dorst, and Grant Grove areas.

Throughout the duration of the project, visitors to the parks may see smoke, burning piles, firefighters, and firefighting apparatus along the roadway. Specific timing for the work will be dependent upon environmental prescription parameters, air quality windows,
and staffing levels.

Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks work with the San Joaquin Air Pollution Control District to coordinate and regulate smoke contributions to the airshed. For air quality information and detailed particulate matter tracking,

Mostly rain in the forecast, we may get some snow if the temperatures drop enough. Currently 40° in Wilsonia.

Thanks to Jeff Rachal and Jesse and Mark Bodine for grinding away the road hazzard tree stump on Cedar at Meadow. Those of you who live and drive on the north side of Wilsonia know what a bad spot that has been… first with the narrow width clearance and then with the suspension killing low tree stump. Thanks guys!!
