It's been snowing all day long today!!! So, I snapped some digital pictures about an hour ago just before the sunset. Well, we didn't get much sun because it was cloudyish to begin with, but here are some pictures of our winter wonderland. We haven't snow within a week radius here in my city since 1997!!! It's supposed to snow again on Saturday, so we might even have a white Christmas in nine years!! Whoo!!!

Some pics I took on my drive back home after taking my mom to her work. I took these pictures inside my car while I was driving. I know....I'm terrible! Muahahaha!:

Here's my car after arriving home. Note the thickness of snow at the top of my car. That's how thick the snow was on my windshield, hood, and trunk.

The pathway to my apartment:

The parking lot:

The inner garden (volleyball court, grass area, and one of the pools):

Show off your winter wonderland pics!

DAMN lucky!

Nighthawk76 · 12-19-2006, 09:26 PM

Those are great pictures, Mona.

All the snow here melted about a week ago so it doesn't look like we are going to have a white Christmas. It is a shame because there should always be snow for Christmas.

I'm soooo jealous!

Nice pics Mona, but next time, keep your eyes on the road and both hands on the steering wheel.

Our forecast is showing rain, it doesn't look like we'll have a white Christmas.

moeee · 12-20-2006, 01:38 AM

All were getting is rain tomorrow where i live as well....

But great pictures! Lucky for you!

I despise snow! lol

I took these pics on March 12, 2006.
A low (for southern California) snow level; I would estimate it was about 2,500 feet in the first photo. In the second photo, the snow had melted somewhat. These are the Santa Susana Mountains (maximum height: 3,748 feet) in the Porter Ranch area.

I hope there is another low snow level this year. I would like to walk right into the snow from the valley floor!

Fleet · 12-20-2006, 02:28 AM

But much more frequent than snow on the lower mountain ranges are wonderful scenes like this one from my backyard...

FOLrocks1 · 12-20-2006, 11:03 AM

You're so lucky! It's 50+ here today.

Same here in mid-Michigan Sara. But on the Lake Michigan side where you live maybe you will get some lake effect snow. You always get more snow over there than we do.

Thanks, guys! Well, if you guys think that having snow around Christmas week in nine years lucky, then I guess it's worth the wait?

It's bright and cloudy right now, and there is no sun out. It's only 9:15 a.m. over here, but maybe we are slated for 1-3 inches more of snow today. Ack! There are patches of highway closures from here to Texas because of hazardous conditions. Yikes.

Brent88 · 12-20-2006, 01:07 PM

That's awesome Swedace, enjoy it.

We're going to have a wet Christmas, maybe some flooding.

We have one rain event tomorrow and Friday and then another just in time for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. We need the rain, but I wish some of it would fall as snow. We've been in the 70's for highs for the past few days.

Awww...you're lucky! Here, it was in the 40's today...supposed to rain tomorrow
