Hasn't voted | There are fine websites by the local TV stations, notably thekcrachannel.com, which offers state of the art Doppler and other Sierra weather forecasts. Try also news10.net, fox40.com, and also the Channel 13 station, KOVR, a CBS affiliate. I often use weather.com for both local and distant forecasts, with often highly reliable, or at least reassuring, information. They all offer long-range forecasts-- extremely useful information for planning vacations. | |

| Tracy | Thunder Mtn. coordinates | |
Hasn't voted | Pete, I believe the coordinates need correcting. I believe the correct coordinates for Peak 9,410 should be 38.6768 degrees North and -120.0843 degrees West. (Coordinates for Peak 9,408 to the southwest are 38.6743 degrees North and -120.0898 degrees West) Overall nice page! | |

Hasn't voted | Thanks for the note! I just went to TopoZone, and use what they have for the peak. My initial numbers were off quite a bit. But when I click on the coordinates, I get another map, not TopoZone. Wonder how that is. | |
