Our street makes the national news
Today’s AP story “Storm blankets West with snow, ice glazes Midwest” includes a photo showing 17-year old Brandon Baxter plowing Thompson Street, in front of our house. The AP reporter who took this photo must’ve been standing more or less in our driveway when he composed the shot:
Here is the part of the story that pertained to Nevada:
Heavy snow and whiteout conditions in the Sierra Nevada on Thursday led authorities to intermittently shut down Interstate 80, the busy main link between northern Nevada and Northern California.
The mountains around Lake Tahoe received about 2 feet of snow, bringing totals at some resorts in the past two weeks to 10 feet.
“This is one of the snowiest Christmas holiday periods I can remember,” said Kent Hoopingarner, general manager at Homewood Mountain Resort.
Thanks for plowing our street, Brandon!
