@WmBrangham This $12 billion in tariff aid is apparently not going to any California wineries or grape grower's who lost over $1 billion plus in revenues in 2025 due to the Canadian tariff dispute. https://t.co/olIE3ZkCLL @CAWineInstitute

More tennis please and less sideshow @ESPNPlus @usta @atptour

[Dianne Collins, aka Q.T. Diva @diannecollins]

ESPN has the worst tennis coverage ever - interrupting the game with off court interviews - the coach can’t concentrate on his player and the fans can’t see the full screen game. Just pathetic directing. And it isn’t only in the Fritz match - it’s every match they cover!
They need to learn from the main network coverage.

[Bill Easton @rhonist]

@diannecollins @usopen Ditto that!

[Bill Easton @rhonist]

@PGE4Me is brilliant - latest email: "Warmer weather may have affected your energy use. Energy use tends to be higher on warmer days.On average, this month was 13°F hotter than the same time last year." Duh!

Sure beats a drought....

[Colin McCarthy @US_Stormwatch]

The National Weather Service is forecasting 114 INCHES (almost 10 feet) of snow to fall in just 48 hours near Donner Pass this Thursday to Saturday.

Easily the most extreme blizzard forecast I've ever seen in California.

Up to 160 inches of snow could fall on the highest peaks through Sunday, with gusts over 150+ mph possible.

Unfathomable amounts of snow and wind – not a storm you want to mess with.

[Bill Easton @rhonist]

Nice. Go winter! Fill our ecosystem with H2O.

[Bill Easton @rhonist]

Snowmageden. The data head's don't know what to think?

[Daniel Swain @Weather_West]

New Weather West post on cold storm sequence headed for California, including the high likelihood of extremely heavy Sierra Nevada snowfall/blizzard conditions (I strongly advise not even attempting to travel in mountains after noon Thu!). #CAwx #CAwater https://t.co/1vxiLnAkU4

[Bill Easton @rhonist]

Excellent winter weather; water, water, everywhere.

[NWS Sacramento @NWSSacramento]

Strong winds and heavy snow will cause extremely dangerous travel conditions, as well as downed trees & branches, & power outages. We're expecting 5-12 FEET of snow above 5000', locally higher over peaks. AVOID mountain travel this weekend, & be prepared if you live there. #CAwx

[Bill Easton @rhonist]

Good news for California ecosystem and reservoirs! Let'er rip.

[Daniel Swain @Weather_West]

Blizzard Warnings are rare in the Sierra Nevada despite the regular occurrence of major winter storms, so this signals high confidence from @NWSSacramento and @NWSReno that the Fri-Sat event will feature both extremely heavy mountain snowfall and strong winds. #CAwx #NVwx

This Saturday.

So what happens for folks with no internet access or who are not on the grid for 24-48 hours? https://t.co/x73GEgChpc

How about "controlled-burn smoke"? CalFire is burning near unharvested vineyards? Wildfire smoke is a huge crisis for the wine industry. Researchers are scrambling for a solution before climate change devastates the industry https://t.co/qOFWx98OPn

Let's smoke some grapes! @Amadorwine @CAgovernor @CalAgToday

[Bill Easton @rhonist]

@CAL_FIRE @CALFIRE_CHIEF decided to do a smoke taint experiment with our two Amador AVA's today - Shenandoah Valley, CA and Fiddletown. They started a control burn this morning after only announcing it yesterday. Clueless and arrogant. @Amadorwine @WineInstitute @GavinNewsom
