Over the past few days, California has been hit by a series of cold, Arctic storms. The storms deluged the state with copious amounts of rain. As a result of the storms, our weather has been cold, wet and dark – not exactly the kind of image that we in California (and especially in Southern California) like to portray to the rest of the world.
But as the saying goes, every storm has a silver lining. Along with the dark clouds, the recent storms brought much needed water to our reservoirs (we were running awfully low on water). The storms also brought snow, wonderful, magnificent, beautiful snow to the mountain range that rings the area where I live. This morning I woke up to the sight of snow capped mountains, their white mantle glistening in the morning sun.
Let me then share with you some of the sights that greeted me this morning as I headed off for work.
Enjoy!
Before the storm rolled in, the skies turned very dark and menacing.
This is a view looking towards the ocean, where the storms were coming from.
This morning, the view out to the nearby mountains was lovely!
The snow cover was wide-spread.
The softly rolling green hills provide a nice contrast to the white peaks.

Yes, it is beautiful to wake up in the morning and look at snowcapped mountains. But you are still missing the joy of playing in the snow. Just think about how much fun you could have shoveling all that snow just to get out of your house and get to your car. And it is so much fun driving in all the snow and ice.
Deneby, I am a girl, I do not shovel snow. That is what guys are for, shovel snow, light the fire and keep away the Boogey Man.
