Snow and Happy New Year!

We got a wonderful surprise for the first of the year...snow!


   It hasn't snowed here in around 10 years so its not a usual occurance. There was a very cold arctic front that came down from Canada that dropped rain and snow in our area.

 Here are a few photos

This photo was taken from some dear friends of ours who live in the neighboring town of Wildomar.

This is in the rural area of Menifee..up in the hills...I don't think the palm trees knew quite what to think! We took our grandson up there to play in the snow and he didn't appreciate the cold factor.


Of course, he ran right back to the car once the photo was taken and I don't blame him. We're really not prepared for the cold stuff. He wanted to go so badly to see it but I don't think he realized how cold it was.

  2. Your poor grandson looks so pathetic. I hope he warmed up in the car. At least he can say he experienced snow. It doesn't look that cold in pictures, does it?

  3. It was in the high 30's and windy so it felt colder. Our son just bought him a heavy jacket so next time he;ll be better prepared!

  4. Wow Dani,

    What beautiful scenery! I hope your grandson can remember more than just being cold. I love to just watch the snow fall down and hope for not enough accumulation to shut us in. We are very remote here in the Western North Carolina mountains and even the ham radio is not very active like we thought it would be for communications.

    They do say this will be a wild winter so keep a hat handy, I have learned to wear one in the cold and it is staring to keep me inside more than ever.
    We are just getting rain to this point but who knows what the winter will hold as it really comes in.
    Lets' pray we all stay warm and cozy and I hope you have lots of threads for your beautiful embroidery makings!

    Thanks for sharing your area and it's beauty!
    Smiles, Cyndi
