Amador County - Very strong high pressure will dominate the weather over the interior of northern California and will continue the unseasonably warm and dry weather conditions throughout the week. A few locations tied or established record high temperatures on Sunday, and more record high temperatures are possible at some locations through Wednesday in Amador County, the foothills and the Central Valley. In Modesto, a record high of 71 was recorded on Monday. In Stockton and Sacramento, the temperature reached 69 on Monday. Grass Valley, also located in the foothills, saw temperatures close to 75 degrees. Many Amador County towns are expected to post record temperatures in the coming week. While the warm temperatures were ideal for weekend activities, some residents fear what this may mean when summer comes and Amador County must once again depend on its water supply to quench residents and fight fires. Visitors to Kirkwood Ski Resort reported slushy snow and added extra layers of sunscreen to protect themselves from the afternoon sun. “I drove over the pass from Reno through South Lake Tahoe and I have to say, I haven’t seen that much bare ground in the Sierras in my life,” said Carolyn Villanova, a special education teacher. “It’s a little scary,” she said.

Why to Look Out for the Brown Marmorated Stink Bug
Are you being Bugged? By Mary Tran A year ago we asked you, “Have You Seen This Bug?” It was an alert, to let you know that the Brown Marmorated Stink Bug (BMSB), a new pest attacking many crops, might be coming to our county. There are plenty of BMSB in Sacramento and other parts of the state. So far, there have been no sightings in our county. Whew! The UC Cooperative Extension has actively watched for them since April, using traps set up in several parts of our county. No BMSB have been caught to date. Now that the weather is turning cooler, if there are any BMSB hiding out in our county they will be looking for nice places to spend the winter, such as your house. That means that the first person to spot one of these guys could be an innocent homeowner. The BMSB may arrive in large numbers, or just singly, through house cracks, tiny holes or clinging to windows, and they will stink if you try to sweep them or vacuum them up. If you find any suspect BMSB clustering on trees in your area, or in your house, please try to collect a sample. Put it into a sealable plastic container and bring it to UC Cooperative Extension, 311 Fair Lane, Placerville. For questions or help with samples, you can contact Mary Tran (This email address is being protected from spambots.
