For over 24 years I have been a weather watcher from my home in Galena Forest located in the Carson Range of the Sierra Nevada mountains near Reno, Nevada. My interest in the weather dates back to my childhood when I am told I would pretend to be the TV weatherman. My years of flying as an instrument rated pilot increased my interest since many times correct weather interpretation kept my family and me alive. As an avid skier I am always interested in the storms that produce the heaven like powder snow we love to play in.

Over the years I found there are lots of folks interested in the same thing. Long range forecasting is my main interest, and it seems that local weather people are very hesitant to forecast very long range ( more than five days). Hence, I decided to begin sending an e-mail to my friends who shared the common interest or just wanted to plan sick days off around big snow dumps. Updates are posted every few days as weather predictions change during the active weather months. From June through September updates are seldom. Daily updates are found on our weather station site noted below. - Randy York

Spring has sprung with typical weather for Northern Nevada. Look for some really warm days and then some really cool days with an occasional shower and the return of Zephyr winds most afternoons. My weather station is down right now due to a change in internet service and some new equipment on order. Should be back up around the 20th.

Typically I don't update this site very often during the Spring and Summer since our weather is fairly consistent and boring. If events warrant, like a big Spring snowstorm or a unusual heat wave, I will keep you informed. Otherwise, have a great summer and we will reconnect in September with some early predictions for next Winter.

These graphics are produced by the Climate Prediction Center of the National Weather Service. They are not all that precise, but are used as a tool for trending.

You can view current conditions and a daily forecast on my weather station site including a graphic on forecasted 2 day precipitation. It is updated most mornings by 9 am. Click here www.goybs.com/weather.html.
