The above picture was taken on January 4th of this year as Sam and I crossed through Donner Pass on the California Zephyr. When we got back, we decided we should consider spending Christmas in the Tahoe/Donner region ... get some snow.
So last month, we booked a cute little condo in Truckee for Christmas week, as our Christmas present for each other. Unfortunately, all the news and Farmer's Almanac have poor Sierra snow this year. However, today the region was hit with a storm that should last until Tuesday! (Sorry for all the people this is inconveniencing, but I'm sure most of the people in the region are rejoicing.) Hopefully the snow will keep falling (although preferably not on Saturday the 20th when we drive up.), because we have a sledding hill right across the street and plans to do some skiing/snowboard as well. Of course building a snowman on Christmas morning would be quite wonderful as well.
Dreaming of a white Christmas...
It definitely makes it easier to put up with our current Bay Area rain knowing it is the same system making snow we'll be playing in next week.
