Here in California, living in the foothills, we only get a dusting of snow every winter if we are lucky. Last night, a winter storm moved in, and so we woke up to over a foot of snow on the ground! Also unusual, we had thunder-snow, which is lightening storm with the snow.
Carla note: The snow continued for a couple of hours after I took the above photo. In the end the snow on the patio furniture doubled in depth!
We also lost power, but I am able to type this thanks to our generator. The oak trees are not used to the heavy weight of the snow, so they are breaking branches off left and right. We have a utility van we use on occasion and it had several large branches fell on it.
We did take time to play in the snow. I made a snowcat and Joe made a snowman:
I am staying warm right now by wrapping myself in my lovely snuggle quilt. Yes, I use a snuggle quilt with minkee in the winter time.
I will update this post with pics as soon as I am able to charge my other computer when the power is restored. I have a feeling that clearing up branches is in my future! LOL
Regards, Carla
