So Cal Snow Storm 2008 - pictures!

It snowed about 8-10 inches here in Southern California yesterday. We're not accustomed to snow, desert rats as we are, so this was a big treat! It was so beautiful and surreal seeing the snow fall for hours, covering the Joshua Trees and Sage Brush...
Just in time for Christmas!










Merry Christmas everyone!!
