Well, we never did get our snow, even at 2000′ elevation, for the rain stopped just as the freezing temperatures came. Its been hovering in the 30’s for nearly a week now. Waiting for that snow, but presently the sky is clear.  At least I have something snowy on my needles, so that by the time the snow in the Sierra Mtns is packed in, I’ll be able to look forward to another Snowmelting Something.
