At those prices, I may be wanting to wait until the novelty has worn off to see a game there. If the A's are trash again this year, tickets for a night game late in the season may be cheap. I'd likely spend the night regardless because of the early meet start time, but that just means I use the Friday evening to finish clinching the light rail system.

I'm definitely a no-go for the baseball game, but up to "likely" for the meet. I had considered going to an antitrust lawyer meet in D.C. the week before to say hi to my former Federal agency colleagues. But the ongoing chaos in the Federal workplace might spread to my old agency, and dampen the turnout for anyone who hasn't pulled the ripcord already.

What's the likelihood that I-80 through the mountains east of Sacto will be closed by snowstorms, complicating my drive back home for Easter? I couldn't find the page I've seen on the Caltrans website, about when the snow threat in the mountains usually ends.

If I get there soon enough, I might clinch the light rail system. I spent a summer working in Sacto, but pre-light rail.

April is a giant question mark, probably the most uncertain month of the spring when it comes to Sierra weather. Could be fine, could be feet of snow. I had snow over Donner Pass the day after the Bakersfield meet.

The good news is that CA 70 has been reliable so far this winter (knock on wood), so that's always an option if there's snow.

Rothman, your link leads me to info for a ski resort in Spain.

Using that same site, their information for Boreal is a good proxy for conditions over Donner Summit on I-80 (the Boreal base is right next to the freeway):

Extended closures of I-80 are getting unlikely by mid-April, but if there's a storm, sometimes that leads to enough wrecks that the freeway will be closed for a few hours while Tow Truck Army heads up the hill to clean up the mess.

I forget, did the storm hit the Bakersfield Meet cause snow on I-80?  I know it wasn't snowing in Tehachapi during that meet.

I got snowed on in Tehachapi town 20 or so minutes after the meet ended. But yeah, that storm caused snow along 80.
