Added some bracing material ~ sorry Ms. Spider, I had to relocate your nest so that it would not get glued!

Snow level: 1000FT

Every few years we see some snow in So. Cal.  Not that it was a huge blizzard but worth noting I guess:

 It rained most of the day on 26 Feb 2011  but after about 10:00PM local time, real snow started falling!  We are at about 1650 FT above sea-level here.

Mt Woodson

 We have seen this before but it is unusual to have the level drop so low and stil have a dusting in the morning.  This is Mt. Woodson just to the west of our house. It is about 2000 Ft. AMSL.

Mt Laguna - East of San Diego

 Mt. Laguna to the east, from my front yard.  It is not unusual to see snow up there this time of year, but to see white all the way down into Ramona is very cool.

Snow Tastes Good!

Well, it tastes cold anyway!

What is going on here dad?

Just a dusting here, snow on the palm trees! The temps were back up to the 50's by afternoon and all traces down here were gone.
