What can I say ??? The last time we saw snow here was in 1992, when we moved into our house...but nothing like this !! KIds in the neighborhood are sledding in the streets, and we've got snow-covered pool furniture in shock everywhere !!!

My neighborhood is at about 1400 feet.

It snowed for over 5 hours straight, and then on and off through the night. Everything, from houses, cars, and the mountains that surround us, is covered in snow. :o Temps weren't super low - yesterday around 37 degrees, this morning about 39 degrees - so this morning it was starting to melt :(

We had kids sledding down the streets, folks building snowmen, and numerous snowball fights throughout my area - people were in a state of shock, really...last time is snowed was when I moved in in 1992, but it didn't last long - nothing like this. Restaurants and hotels here were packed, too, 'cause they closed the 5 freeway at Castaic Lake, leaving lots of folks stranded.

I'm sure I won't see this happen again for a long time, but it sure was fun being here while it was going on :D

Damn, I'm jealous! We're getting more rain here. Every try having a rainball fight, or building a rainman?
Ok, so maybe a rainman's been done... :mrgreen:
