Isn't that WET and MUDSLIDE ?

It was snowing a bit here this morning ... can't wait for the 3-6 inches tonight !!!
3-6 inches and white ??? yeah - that sounds about right.
Yellow flowers ?? Not for me, thankyou. Snow is much more fun.

Enjoy your "winter"

I was just down at Mammoth lakes California where my daughter lives and the snow is getting deeper. It also helps when your house is at 7600 feet and the mountians are over 10,000

Those are some great shots, rihwoods! Reminds me of when the ocotillo plants are blooming; it's the neatest thing to see! Looks like everything's dry and dead but these flowers are all over the scrub brush.

Those flowers bloomed right after the 1st snow fall.... Nice cruise through the mountains and ending up in the desert.
