Snow (or lack thereof) Update

Booooo, it seems that we are the ONLY area between here and Stockton that didn't wake up to snow this morning :( Sawyer was terribly disappointed to the point of tears, but luckily there was a decent dusting of snow on the ground and the playground at his preschool (which, I should note, is only five minutes away from our house), and it was enough to avert disaster for the day. I woke up to text messages and photos of practically everyone I know showing their houses covered in white fluffy goodness, so, I'll leave you with a few pictures of the lucky ones that woke up to a winter wonderland! Oh, and the news report this morning clarified that the last time it snowed here in the valley was in 2002...for about thirty minutes!


Lots of snow in Granite Bay!


This picture was taken in Twelve Bridges...ONE frickin' exit away from our house (and it was taken several hours after the snow had already started to melt!)!


Kari & Joe are actually snowed in at their new house in El Dorado Hills this morning! Schools up there are all closed, and they're taking a snow day off. They're at a higher elevation, so they can probably expect it to snow at their house a time or two again this year if it gets cold enough. Lucky! I know where I'm going to play next time!
