4014's Donner Crossing and an Iffy Weather Forecast
Author: g-spotter1

If current weather models hold, 4014 will encounter some potential weather over the Donner for Sunday.  There are rain chances forecast for the entire area Thursday-Sunday.  Lets hope the weather guys are wrong on this one.  The upside could be great cloud effects and billowing clouds of steam, making for some priceless photographic drama.
