Shaver Lake CA Doggie!

Shaver Lake was in a thick cloud yesterday with the addition of rain. It made travel a bit like being in the Valley on a very foggy day, except of course here in the mountains we call it "being in a cloud." Which is exactly what it is.
The sun is shining today and we hope evaporation does not contribute to those old "self fulfilling clouds" as my husband calls it. With this much snow on the ground, sometimes a sunny day turns dark after a short while.
We keep a portion of the deck cleared for our dog. So she is happy sunshine or not!

Shave Lake CA Puppy!

You can see the snow beneath my dog Carly's feet. The snow is deep enough on our deck that you cannot see the top of the railing. Although we have a cleared path for her to run and play fetch with the ball, she will jump to the top of the snow and run on it instead. This is truly a SNOW DOG!...and such a great pup too! Carly, at nearly five months old.

Shaver Lake Ca Brrrrrrrrrrr!

Woke up to 12 degrees this morning. No new snow yesterday...just very grey skys.

Shaver Lake Ca SNOW!

We received about 10 inches of snow through the night--lots of wind--a great storm! Looking down into the Valley, it looks like the snow may have fallen as low as 3000-4000 feet in elevation.

We have another 70% chance of snow today.

Shaver Lake CA Trees

The weather is still warm as can be. It is supposed to be in the sixties today. Expecting snow Friday and Saturday--cross your fingers.

Shaver Lake CA Sunset

You don't need the best camera, the best lens, nor do you need to be the best photographer. You just need the Sierra Nevada mountains and more specificially Shaver Lake.
