We woke to an inch of snow in our RV park yesterday. While taking Sonya on her daily run through the preserve, David shot these scenes of our snow-dusted setting. We also woke to an electricity outage that swept across the entire mountain. We followed through with our plans to “go down the hill,” as locals say, to go to church and then do our weekly grocery run.

When we got out on the road, we discovered how much snow had fallen at the higher elevations — at least 4 inches — and how it must have paralyzed traffic during pre-dawn hours. The entrance road to Acorn Casino, which is a major stop on the interstate to get gas, was closed.

Once the danger was past, people stopped their cars along the highway so they could enjoy the rare chance to make snowballs and snowmen in southern California! One person’s dread is another person’s delight.
The snow is gone now, and for two people whose intention is to live snow-free winters, that’s fine with us!
