We’ve received a whole lot of emails this past weekend wondering how we’re doing with the recent CA storms (thanks!). While it was predicted we’d have blizzard like conditions, all we had here in Mammoth was killer snow! We badly, badly needed it and while not the real wet stuff (which makes shoveling a whole lot easier) it’s still white and makes great water this come spring.
What does it look like, all this white stuff? Well, in the top photo you can see the day before the storm and the day it ended. We received here at the house about eight+ feet. What do you do when it’s snowing that much? You enjoy the fire, fine music, good bottle of Merlot cured up with a good book. And when it comes time to taking the dogs out, we play. Our oldest dog Benson who is now eight takes his snow and snowball catching very seriously. It just amazes me how much air he gets off powder snow to catch them flying white balls. I had to shoot from the 2nd story office deck, snow to high to shoot from ground level.
