Snow!


So, it snowed last week on Thursday. We weren't home to actually see it snow, but we got phone calls about it and I listened on the radio about all of the havoc the weather was causing as I was driving around in it.

The “weather people” didn’t see it coming. Thursday was one of the weirdest weather days ever. At one point I had the sun going down behind me and I could see the ocean, a rainbow in front of me with rain falling (obviously) and snow off in the distance to the north. When I finally got to Ramona and to the east side there was snow on the ground and yards and fields full of water. We’ve had flurries, but nothing has stuck to the ground here in over 20 years.

I finally got home around 6:30Pm and got to see it in the dark. It was still around in the morning and we drove around to take pictures, we even went to Julian for lunch. I can't believe we got that much snow.

Here's my rant:
People all over San Diego think that Ramona is like, I don't know, a million miles away from civilization. I actually had a group for Sunday reschedule because of the snow (that in Ramona was melted by Friday afternoon). I also had people call and ask if the roads were open and if they needed chains! This was on Saturday and Sunday! What?! It's like 70 out, the most gorgeous weekend we could even ask for, 3 days of the best weather we've had in over a month! It was also the best 3 days we've had for crowds at the park! A very welcome turn of events!
