I miss snow. It's around 90 here today. Too hot too soon.
Thanks for the pics, all! Nice to see what it looks like, anyway! |

Great photos. We went over to Paso this morning after the big hail storm!!! This is like only the 3rd time in my life I've seen snow or hail fall!! Real California boy. I've never seen hail on the sand on Moonstone Beach, but it was there this morning. Weird effect!
Yesterday after the first hail experience, we drove up San Simeon Creek Road (one of favorite rides) and went as far as we dared before the ice on the road got too thick!!! This is a real treat!
Thanks for posting the pics.

Hi Roland, this weather has been very bizzarr. I thought I'd seen it all, but hail on moonstone beach? WOW! I took a very nice drive out to Parkfield yesterday and it was coming down pretty heavy. The flakes were huge and falling very slowly. It was just awesome. I woke up this morning here in Paso Robles and there was a little snow on my lawn and on the dog house roof. It continued to fall for a couple of hours, but it melted pretty fast there after. Anyway, I'm sure it'll be 105F in Paso and 60F in Cambria before long. Back to the same old weather, but what a treat this has been.

A couple of other shots from Sunday. The deer were very shy so we had to creep up using trees as camouflage - managed these before they ran away. I was trying to think of a book or poem I could use for the Literary challenge but had to revert to another very different shot.
 
Should have gone with this one:
"Mary had a little lamb
Its fleece was white as snow"
:)

Been snowing like the devil here today. They have us under a winter weather warning. Prediction is for 8-12 inches of heavy wet snow. So far we have had 3-4 inches fall since 8 am

Wow, what a great display of snow photos. Thanks for sharing everyone. Bell, that is a ton of snow!!!! I'm glad it only snowed a couple of inches here. It has already melted, so there was no need for a snow shovel. In your case, you might want to consider a snow blower!
Thanks for sharing your photos and snow reports everyone!

I was in the Phoenix area to work. Ironic 143 days with zero moisture and on the day I had to shoot it never stopped raining/hailing/bit of snow too!
1st image is rare snow at very low elevations just north of Phoenix, rest of pix, my working conditions for the entire day! It snowed so much just to the north of me (Flagstaff, Pinetop) I had to drive an extra 300 miles to get home to New Mexico to avoid driving in it for 200 miles!

Ristyz... if you get into Phoenix again and would like to meet up with fellow DPCers let us know you are coming. You not only experienced the first precipitation in any form for the last 143 days but you also just missed having a chance to meet kirbic from DPC. He gets here tomorrow.

Ah yes, I knew about the 143 days! We've had a wee bit more moisture than that up here in the 4 Corners but barely!! sooo dry...... good new is out mountains that feed us water for the summer just got around 50 inches of snow over the last week!
Too bad I didn't think of it before I left! Equine Photogs are so few & far between we usually DO meet up when in the neighborhood of others...I didn't even think of the DPC crew....shame....next time, perhaps! I was in camping conditions during the shoot (just like all the competitors) so no internet while there! I wanted to go to the Grand Canyon on the way home too...can't get there right now!

Well jimmy, I've never been up there. But, I heard because the humidity is so low, you don't feel the cold as bad. Down here, if it drops to 40, the humidity makes it feel more like 20.

| Wow Jeremy, very cool shots! You don't see the rolling central California hills with snow on them too often. We got snow too down here in the foothills above LA, and that was pretty neat. Of all weeks, I didn't have my camera. I just got it back from Canon today, dangit!!! It was wierd, at first the snow was coming down in very soft small snowballs about the size of a small marble (not hard like hail though). Then the snowflakes started coming down. |

Hi Marc, bummer on not having the camera around for the snow. I haven't had to send mine in yet, but I still keep a coolpix P&S on hand incase the D70 dies on me. I was driving around near Santa Maria today and there was still snow on the mountains east of town.
BradP: Great photos from SoCal. That was some real snow there. Is that east of Poway? I tried to figure it out, but I couldn't really find it.
There are a lot of great snow pics here. Thanks to everyone for posting and sharing. |
