Gliders

We can watch gliders from our deck and the view of the valley is what you see...but today that view is a mass of eery fog and clouds as the hoped for snow has not yet arrived.

Sunset over Coast Range and fog

Yes, it is the the coast range and is taken from our deck in Shaver. I am very fortunate to live in Shaver and be able to see this and more each evening.
It is beginning to warm up again. Night-time temperatures are in the teens, but we are supposed to hit mid to upper forties during the day. Another storm is headed our way, but so far predictions are for temperatures more condusive to rain at the Shaver elevation.
Crab Feed this Saturday evening at Shaver. Yummmmm!

I am sure we received another six inches of snow last evening and it is still snowing...it is absolutely breathtaking up here provided you like snow and cold temperatures. I can't see the valley at all from my deck today--just a huge fog bank--but with all the beauty that is here today, who needs to see the valley!

We finally have more snow at Shaver. It snowed most of last evening and today, and we are expecting more snow tonight and tomorrow. Last evening highway 168 was a blur of cars slipping and sliding off a mush of soft snow blanketed over hard ice as they made their way up for the three-day weekend. Cars barely missing cars as they attempted to stay on the road. Come see the snow, but drive carefully. As the experienced mountain dwellers will tell you, the minute you feel comfortable in the snow, is the minute you are in trouble!

Lakes, mountains, boating, snow skiing, water skiing, hiking--Shaver Lake has it all! We have Fourth of July fireworks on the lake, wine tasting, The Black Pot Cook-off, fabulous weather, bountiful wildlife, and so much more. Let me update you each day with all the fun, excitement, adventure, and happenings here in Shaver Lake. If you don't read the Shaver Lake Blog, you're out of the loop. Get with it!
I grew up in Fresno (my husband in Sanger)and now live in Shaver Lake and have for the past eight years. We only wanted a mountain retreat...but we were spending so much time here that before long I was teaching at Pine Ridge Elementary and we moved here full time. My husband still commutes to Fresno and claims it is "no problem." I have two sons, one lives in New York, and the other in Fresno. I am currently selling Real Estate(www.ValerieMortensen.com)in these mountains and loving what I do. There are many Real Estate Associates so the competition can be tough, but I would not want to sell Real Estate anywhere else. Helping clients find that special mountain getaway is very special to me.
