Snow advisory remains in effect until 4 am pst Friday.
Snow showers will continue to increase tonight and Friday. Snow levels will range between 1500 and 2000 feet tonight, as cold air remains trapped along the eastern foothills. Snow levels will gradually increase tomorrow to near 3000 feet. Additional snow fall totals up to 3 inches will be possible through tonight. Gusty southeast winds may create areas of reduced visibility at times in blowing snow. A snow advisory means that periods of snow will cause primarily travel difficulties.

We're Getting a Ton of Snow
It's currently snowing at our Arnold office and more is on the way.
“To appreciate the beauty of a snow flake, it is necessary to stand out in the cold.”

Driveway Slope Issues
Our current County building code for roads and driveways states, "Maximum grades permitted: below 3,000' elevation is 16%. Above 3,000' elevation is 12%." In either case the code then states, "Any driveway with a grade exceeding the maximum permitted shall be provided with an asphalt or concrete surface." Thereby allowing all slopes with a finished surface to be approved. This has been the way we have done business since these County codes were enacted in 1992. In just the past approx. 60 days building permits were not being approved on driveways exceeding 16%, based on recent Cal Fire objections that the County code was not in compliance with State codes enacted in 1991. Representatives of fire departments, Realtors, builders, engineers and key county department staff are meeting to discuss public concerns and confusion over driveway slope issues. CENTURY 21 Sierra Properties is one of the key stakeholders and when we have more information we will be updating you on this important issue.

C21 at BVXC: Nature… Family… Fitness… It’s all good in Bear Valley
A few CENTURY 21 Sierra Properties Agents took some time out of their busy day yesterday to take on learning a new sport: Cross Country Skiing! Carolyn Petersen, Kathy DeGraef and friend Pat braved the windy conditions and took a lesson from Paul Petersen at Bear Valley Cross Country Ski Area. A few falls and a few glides later everyone was zipping right along.
Bear Valley lies in the heart of the Central Sierra between the Mokelumne and Carson Iceberg Wilderness Areas. You will enjoy an extensive trail system of over 3,000 acres. Amenities include 35 trails carefully groomed for track and skate skiing and snowshoeing, the Meadow Cafe, a complete rental, demo and retail facility, 4 Trailside Huts including the new Osborne Ridge Hut, picnic tables, park benches, two kids' trails, a new waxing hut, groomed downhill practice area and a sledding/tubing facility. Trails are open from 9am to 4:30pm daily. The elevation of 7,000 to 7,800 feet guarantees first to open (usually mid November) and last to close (usually mid April) status among Sierra cross country centers.
