Spring Storms Can Bite

By Mark McLaughlin For many Tahoe-Truckee resorts, the Easter holiday represents the end of the ski and snowboarding season. But just because the chairlifts stop turning in April doesn’t mean that winter is over. In fact, some of the worst storms of the season can occur after the official end of winter. In 2003, the normally wet months of January, February, and March were bone-dry, but in April a series of powerful, late season storms dumped 10 ½ feet of snow on the region. The heavy precipitation boosted the Lake Tahoe Basin snowpack from a miserly 57% of normal on April 1, to a bountiful 110% of average

by April 30. The last minute precipitation transformed a potential drought into an enjoyable summer of boating, swimming and fishing.

Known as “equinox storms,” spring weather systems can really pack a punch. Longtime locals may remember the weeklong storm

in late March 1982 that dumped more than 8 feet of snow and triggered a deadly avalanche at Alpine Meadows Ski Area that killed seven people. The remarkable rescue of Alpine Meadows employee Anna Conrad five days later helped cheer a community still in shock from the tragic loss of family and friends in one of North America’s worst ski area disasters.

Some old timers may even remember the Easter storm of 1958 that slammed the Sierra with phenomenal snowfall. An El Niño event in the Pacific Ocean markedly influenced the winter of 1957-58. Most of California received above average precipitation that year and the TahoeTruckee region was no exception. Frequent storms lashed the state with wind, rain and snow. Cold storms in March generated a rash of severe thunderstorms and unprecedented tornado activity. The active weather pattern made 1958 the wettest season in 90 years.

Many Californians were hoping for an end to the exceptionally wet winter. Sierra ski resorts were boasting a 15-foot snowpack and resort managers were praying for good weather during the traditionally busy Easter vacation. Unfortunately for all concerned, one of the worst storms of the year barreled into the region just in time for Easter week.

Heavy snow fell in the Sierra, occasionally as low as 1,500 feet, while snow slides stopped all transportation through the mountains for several days. Chain controls were in force all the way to Auburn. A dozen large avalanches

near the River Ranch on Highway 89 closed the road there for nearly a week.

In 1958, Interstate 80 was not yet built, but Highway 40 over Donner Pass was closed for five days by the storm. Tremendous overhangs posed a hazard to all vehicles; some of the cornices reached to the road’s centerline. In addition to the overwhelming snow, a massive mud slide more than six feet deep near Donner Summit added to the challenge of clearing the road. At Norden, ten feet of snow fell in five days while at Soda Springs the weather station was completely buried under snow 22 feet deep. On April 4th, the snowpack at the highest elevations exceeded 27 feet.

Tahoe ski resorts took the brunt of the storm; the Heavenly Valley ski area was the only mountain operation able to remain open during the blizzard. At Squaw Valley, construction crews preparing the site for the upcoming 1960 Winter Olympics were shut down by the heavy snowfall. Olympic planners had been hoping for a mild winter so that spring construction could begin early on the installations.

At the Donner Summit Lodge in Soda Springs, snowdrifts stranded an estimated 1,500 people. Sugar Bowl Ski Resort on Donner Summit was hit hardest of all. A massive avalanche wiped out three towers on the Mt. Lincoln double chair lift, closing it for the season. Ski racers slated to compete there in the Far West Ski Association, continued on page 8

NCOA Website Offers a Treasure Trove of COVID-19 Help for Older Adults The COVID-19 pandemic is generating fear, confusion, and economic uncertainty for many older Americans, especially those living on a fixed income. Fortunately, the National Council on Aging (NCOA), a trusted nonprofit that has been helping older adults age with dignity and economic security for the last 70 years, is providing valuable information about coronavirus on its website, www.ncoa.org. NCOA experts are regularly curating and updating resources that are of vital importance to older adults and their caregivers. You will find blogs, links, and videos that address a wide range of issues, including: Food If you or someone you care for needs meals delivered, NCOA offers links to Meals on Wheels and Feeding America with options to search in your zip code for local services.

Feeding America and other food banks are adapting to the situation by setting up

social distancing guidelines and smaller community drop-off points. For those who qualify, there is a link to apply for SNAP, formerly known as food stamps, which helps individuals pay for nutritious food.

Finances Many older Americans, especially those living on a fixed income, are concerned that COVID-19 will impact their financial situation now and in the future. In fact, many federal, state, and local benefits programs are available to older adults for help with financial challenges, including utility payments, medication costs, rent, and other expenses. NCOA’s companion website, www.BenefitsCheckUp.org, offers information about eligibility and how to apply for billions of dollars in benefits.

Transporation In addition, although older Americans are advised to avoid non-essential travel, older adults can find options for critical transportation for essential medical visits or to pick up food and medication. NCOA provides a link to Eldercare Locator to help find local transportation services, and also offers information about navigating telemedicine visits, which are becoming easier and more commonplace.Those concerned about Medicare benefits in the COVID-19 health care environment can use NCOA’s links to state and government sites for the latest information.

Feelings The stress and isolation of the coronavirus pandemic is taking a toll on everyone’s emotions. While NCOA urges older adults to follow physical isolation guidelines to remain physically healthy, it also offers tips for older adults, their caregivers, and families to use technology to stay in touch with loved ones and friends, and remain emotionally healthy as well.

Visit www.ncoa.org for what older adults should know about COVID-19, as well as other information about healthy aging.

By Family Features For many types of medical emergencies, time is a critical factor. The faster a patient receives critical care, the greater the chances for a positive outcome, including a full recovery. However, for people living in remote areas and those who enjoy spending leisure time off the beaten path, time and help aren’t always readily available.

Emergency air medical services can play a vital role in transporting patients who have experienced a medical episode such as a stroke, heart attack, burn- or trauma-related accident including motor vehicle accidents or workplace injuries. In these severe circumstances, patients can benefit from emergency air medical services’ significantly reduced transport times, specialized medical training and advanced equipment.

With the increased closure of rural hospitals, these transports can help patients receive the care they need. Understanding how emergency air medical services work can provide an advantage if a crisis requiring specialized transportation is experienced.

The Decision to Use an Emergency Air Ambulance Emergency air ambulances are resources typically reserved for times when a patient is facing a life-, limb- or eyesightthreatening emergency and it is in the person’s best interest to receive expedited medical care. A qualified situation typically involves the risk of serious or permanent

damage to a patient’s (or unborn child’s) health or bodily function.

If the medical situation meets any of these criteria and the 911 dispatcher determines the patient would benefit from emergency ground or air medical transport, he or she may proactively dispatch an air ambulance along with a ground ambulance. Similarly, when assessing a patient who is critically ill or injured, a first responder or other authorized care professional on the scene will determine the closest and fastest options for getting to advanced medical care. If the condition is particularly serious, air transportation may be the most viable option.

In other situations, physicians or authorized health care professionals operating under strict protocols may make the decision to request an emergency air transport.

An example would be when a patient urgently needs a higher level of care and is transported from a community hospital to a larger, better equipped facility such as a trauma center. In fact, these types of interfacility transfers of some of the sickest or most gravely ill patients make up the majority of emergency air ambulance transports.

Payment Options and Insurance Denials Emergency air medical service payments can vary a great deal. In severe situations, patients cannot be denied access to air transport based on ability to pay. In fact, under the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act, air ambulances are required to deploy (barring severe weather, maintenance issues or actively transporting another patient) and agree to take flights without any knowledge of the patient’s ability to pay. Any type of insurance that may cover emergency air medical transport services, including health, auto, medical and liability, may be a source of payment. Additionally, for those covered through Medicare Part B, a co-pay and deductible may be all a patient is responsible for paying.

However, insurance companies deny payment for roughly 60% of these emergency transports, claiming they are medically unnecessary. Some air medical service providers, like Global Medical Response, employ a staff of highly trained continued on page 14

divisional alpine championships on April 12 and 13 endured a long, exhausting hike to the top of Mt. Lincoln.

But the “Granddaddy” of all our snowy Springs is still 1880. In late March of that year, Truckee residents were enjoying the first blossoms of spring and anticipating warm sunny days ahead. In Carson City, journalist and weather sharp Dan De Quille asserted that “there is no longer any doubt but that the spring rise is upon us.” One Nevada saloon owner ordered a double quantity of beer for the coming week. He expected to be selling 500 kegs a week by the middle of April.

De Quille’s forecast couldn’t have been more wrong as late season weather systems barreled in from the Pacific Ocean. The precipitation was beneficial for farmers and ranchers in the lowlands, but the railroad men working up on Donner Summit took the brunt of it. Raging for 17 of the first 20 days of April, relentless storms dumped a record 25 feet of snow on Donner Summit.

The first of the cold fronts arrived on April Fools Day, smothering the western slopes near Cisco Grove under four feet of snow within 24 hours. The rapid buildup caused a massive snowslide near Emigrant Gap, burying Central Pacific Railroad’s tracks under 75 feet of snow and rock. Racing to the scene, a repair train smashed into a stalled passenger car, nearly killing several occupants asleep in their berths.

For days the skies remained dark as the blizzard raged on in the Sierra. Powerful avalanches caused by the continuous heavy snowfall destroyed miles of snowshed and blockaded the vital trans-Sierra train route.

Shattered structural timbers and large boulders incapacitated the train plow and created the need for hired laborers to shovel the tracks by hand.

Giving no respite, potent storms continued to hammer the mountains. For three days during the middle of the month, two feet fell every 24 hours, completely inundating Truckee. By the third week of April, with the town buried under 16 feet of snow and the ice measuring 10 feet thick on Donner Lake, the Truckee Republican newspaper proclaimed the storm to be unequaled in living memory.

Fighting the worst weather in 13 years of operating over the Sierra, Central Pacific maintained a frantic pace trying to keep the tracks clear. Rushing to a snowshed cavein, a special plow train manned by 80 men jumped the icy rails at high speed, ripping through hundreds of feet of snowshed timber. Amazingly, no one was hurt. Later that same day, fate was kind again when a large avalanche overran a stranded train, sweeping five freight cars into a deep chasm but missing several occupied passenger cars.

As the storms churned on without a break, the snow reached incredible depths. More than 20 feet of it covered the ground at Sugar Pine Point on the West Shore of Lake Tahoe. Resident John McKinney measured 201 inches of snow that month. Several massive avalanches as much as half a mile wide roared into the Truckee River canyon, destroying houses and temporarily damming the rushing waters of the Truckee.

Travel in the mountains became a life and death struggle as the snowstorms continued their assault. After making his scheduled

delivery to Tahoe City, Truckee mailman John Hyslop became besieged at Lake Tahoe by blowing and drifting snow. After three frustrating days of waiting out the storm, he grew determined to return to Truckee, daring to challenge the elements. Sinking to his knees despite skis 11 feet long, his perilous journey over avalanche paths took two days owing to snow 12 feet deep on the roadway.

As May approached, the weather finally cleared, leaving a snowpack nearly 31 feet deep. Donner Summit received almost 67 feet of snow that winter, and more than one-third of it fell in April!

Wild About Wildflowers!

Spring has arrived in the mountains and that means the hills are alive with color and new growth! If you listen closely you can hear the sound of nature lovers strapping on their hiking boots and loading up their Nikons!

Over the years, countless breathtaking wildflower shots from some of our local photographers have graced the covers and inside pages of Northwoods. Here are directions to those vistas as well as others that are just as breathtaking. Another excellent reason why living in the mountains is the best place to be on earth, in the spring!

- Boca Reservoir. Park right at the dam. This time of year, you can see lots of Mule Ears on the east side of the dam. (It is early enough in the season that the bugs have not gotten to them yet. Do bring the bug spray if you arrive very early or late in the day.)

Northwoods

- Lake Forest Beach Park.

The April 2007 cover of Northwoods was taken at a spot located at the end of Bristlecone Avenue in Lake Forest, one mile east of Tahoe City. The lupine on

- Emigrant Trail along Alder Creek. This is right in Truckee’s backyard, but it is a favorite spot to wander and see patches of wildflowers here and there in the dappled sunlight around the trees.

- Donner Summit. Take Old Hwy. 40 west from Truckee to Donner Summit where you will find the Pacific Crest Trail Head. Follow the trailhead south about 2 miles to the Judah Loop Trail. Go east on the Judah Loop Trail to Judah’s Summit.

Along the north side of the summit, you will find deep Lupine and wildflowers in the months of July and August.

- Tinker’s Knob. From the same trailhead as above, travel farther south (about 8 miles) to Tinker’s Knob. The east face is the location of a large wildflower field.

Northwoods Tahoe | www.northwoods.news

- Castle Peak. Take I-80 west from Truckee to Donner Summit and the Pacific Crest Trailhead. Follow the trailhead north about 2 miles. This will lead into the valley beneath Castle Peak. The whole area is covered in wildflowers! If you continue north about 8 miles, you will go up and over Basin Peak. Beyond the Peak is an old growth forest painted with green grass and scattered wildflowers.

- Sagehen Meadow. This is a favorite spot for photographers. In May, on a good year the meadow comes alive with purple camas lilies. The bloom can occur any time from mid to late May. To get to the spot, travel north on Hwy. 89 out of Truckee for 7.4 miles. Park your car on the north side of the unmarked Sagehen Creek Bridge.

Start on the east side of Highway 89 and follow the trail for about 5 miles until you get to the meadow.

SAFTEY IN THE SKY Continued from page 6

Patient Advocates that work with patients to appeal these denials on their behalf.

They work tirelessly to make sure insurance companies fulfill their responsibility to pay so patients are not left with unexpected bills because of surprise insurance denials, even if it takes months or years to resolve a denied claim. Ultimately, 90% of those denials are overturned after numerous appeals.

In the event insurance still will not pay the claim in full or the patient doesn’t have insurance of any kind, the air medical service provider will work with the patient to find a solution that meets his or her unique financial needs to resolve any remaining balance.

Emergency Air Ambulance Memberships A membership with an emergency air ambulance provider or group of providers, like AirMedCare Network, guarantees no outof-pocket costs if transported by the provider covered under a membership program.

Memberships typically require a minimal monthly or annual fee. In some instances, corporations purchase memberships to cover employees who work in remote areas or drive through large swaths of rural America.

Other benefits are often unique to the individual providers and can include member­ships that are valid across a provider’s full network, allowing for coverage while traveling. In addition, household memberships are available to cover people under one roof as well as under­graduate students. Becoming a member is also a way to support the health care needs of local communities since it helps providers operate in rural areas where having a quick response time to critical medical situations can save lives.
