Recent California Weather


Taylor's parents came to visit this week and help while we had the baby. Pictures on the drive up to Lake Arrowhead overlooking San Bernardino. There was several feet of snow. Thank you for your help this week Tommy and Connie we had a great time and hope you can come back for the baby blessing. After a week long of rain and snow finally on Saturday the sun came out. This is a picture from our drive way looking at Big Bear. We tried to drive up to Big Bear and Forest Falls but the highway patrol still had the roads shut down due to downed power lines and trees.
Many of you have probably heard about the wet weather this last week in California. Well- it was really wet. We recieved a years worth of moisture in one week. On Friday we woke up to 3-4 inches of snow. This picture was taken within 10 miles of our house up a canyon where they got several feet of snow. We live at 2400 feet so it is not uncommon for a "skiff" of snow every year but this was unusual. So- to all of our friends in UT, ID, and WY we got to enjoy the snow just not the months long of cold weather. California really does have it all- snow, beaches, deseret, mountains...oh ya and Taylor frequently reminds me high taxes.
