First Winter Storm

The first winter blast of the season came with a vengeance at mid December. With a lull between storms Deron & Steve took a drive into the mountains to see how high they could get in Deron's truck (without chains) and to have a play in the snow!By the way, did I say it's like less than 20 minutes up the road for where we live?It was simply beautiful!At Ice House Canyon they had to turn around. It was snowing and quite slippery.
Check it out... it's snowing!!!On the way back down...We stopped at the Buckhorn Inn and pulled into the parking lot that was coated with a foot of snow. There we proceeded to load up the back of Deron's truck with that powdery white stuff!
Note the chuck of snow that appears to be hanging for the wires. Actually it is enroute to the bed of the truck!Steve with a snowball in hand, just waiting to let loose...Load it up!Enjoying this wintery wonderland!
We took the load of snow home and shared it with the rest of the fam...
Jasen loved to opportunity to play in the snow, right outside of the comfort of our home!
The snowball fight begins...And continues...And continues...Prestin tried to stay safe and dry, but ultimately got sucked into the battle!Time out, Steve had to take a phone call from his friend Craig, but the snowball fight continued!Jasen can't believe it is so cold, but it's so fun!But Deron, where are your gloves?Fire away!
Even Shellie had a toss or two!It is not every day you can have a snowball fight in the front yard in Southern California.
