Koford, R. 1975 Journal White Cloud campground, 11 miles E. Nevada City, Nevada Co., Calif. 4300 ft. (9DST) 23 March I arrived a little after 1700, having come through Grass Valley and Nevada City. It was raining lightly but had evidently snowed recently. First snow was seen a couple miles east of Grass Valley, near Brunswick Road, about 2500 ft. Snow cover was complete at about 3000 ft. The snow cover at the campground was about 0.5 m. deep in most places, but as little as 15 cm. in some. I didn't try to watch squirrels, figuring that they didn't like the drizzly weather any more than I did. The temperature was about 35-40° F (not measured) and the wind light. 24 March It rained all day, the intensity varying from light to hard. Two Forest Service employees came to work on fixing up the inside of one of their buildings. They were Wes and Wendell Terborg (sp?). They hunt Gray Squirrels and we talked for about half an hour about both sp. of tree squirrels. I didn't really learn anything new. I then spent about an hour and a half walking around looking for squirrel sign, but the snow was very soft and walking was difficult. For the rest of the day I stayed in the camper and read. One of the brothers had said it was snowing at 5000 ft., but all I had was rain. 25 March It was snowing very wet snow in the morning. Since the weather report predicted snow through the night, I went down to Grass Valley at 1000, staying there until noon, when the rain stopped. It was about 40° F in the early afternoon
