We live around the Lake Tahoe surrounding neighborhood in northern CA, so we get some snow every year too. But the regular snowfall in the past years had been falling around October to November, but in recent years, our snowy months have been around January to April, which is a huge shift.
We didnt have any snow last Christmas Day, but we did have few inches of snow dustings the following day! It didnt last for hours though, everything just melted off to the warm ground in a matter of few hours and then they were gone!
But these last two (2) days, January 5 and 6, we finally have some great snow fall. We actually accumulated around one foot of snow yesterday and around six (6) inches last night. I hate shoveling snow, but had to clean up the ones on our deck before it files up and the doorway becomes unaccessible. Besides, shoveling and snow blowing is a perfect excuse for me to get outside, enjoy the snow, and actually feel the fresh powder, definitely the type of snow that skiers and snowboarders been waiting and praying for.
Last night, I saw this news on The Weather Channel (TWC) about a tree that fell to a persons house, but not because of snow but due to too much rain that soften the ground and the root-based of the tree was probably not that deep, so the series of rainstorms caused the tree to fell and unfortunately hit their home.
Last night, my hubby heard some weird and loud noise, but he said that he could not figure out the noise. This morning, he went outside to realize that we just lost some of our great old Oak Trees! It is quite amazing how snowflakes, when filed up into inches thick, can get so heavy, can bring down centuries old Oak Trees just like that. The oak trees that fell are probably around two (2) feet more or less in diameter, so they are kinda big trees just snap down like tootpicks.
I was able to let our dogs out, gave them time to play in the snow, and took some pictures. So if you ask me what its like out here today, its a winter wonderland :-) It looks pretty white and glowy outside!
