So California has been in a drought for the past few years. The winters have been lackluster to say the least. Things weren't looking any better this winter until a week ago. We've had 6 inches to a foot here and there since november, but nothing serious. Finally we got a snow storm worth something. This is great news for those who enjoy winter activities (oh yeah the pow was great) and great news for the state in general. This snow is essentially the battery for the state's water supply. The snow melt run off from here generates electricity and supplies water for a LARGE portion of California. On Saturday night we received almost 3 feet alone! Over the past week we've had over 6 feet of snow. Things have been chaotic in town, but it feels like a winter of years past. I love it! We've had much bigger storms in the past, it's just exciting to finally have something worthy come through. Some pics around the place:
