Just add a little snow

[gf beranek]

It snowed up at Lassen and closed the highway for a couple of days. The parks cleared the road just in time for Terri and I to make a dash and catch the views before it gets snowed in for the season.

As some of you may recall, we were just up there last week, and nary a flake of snow anywhere but on the mountain itself. Now look at what happened just a few days later. Cool...

Wow isn't that something . There's a lot of diverse country in California but then it covers 2/3 of the west coast .

quite nice Gerry, thanks for sharing.

I haven't been up there for 27 years. Nice to see it again.
And you & Terri, of course

You getting snow there yet, Stig?

 

[stig]

Nope.
Low elevation, remember.
And a long convoluted coastline, so the sea has to cool down first.
Usually we'll get some around late december.

I thought maybe because of the latitude..... there I go thinking again.

Fun photo of Terri on the wooden walk there. She looks possibly a little intimidated by the hot swirling mist?

Thanks so much Jer. That last shot is worth millions. What a place you guys live in.

I love the way the pools reflect up there. Simply beautiful!

Nice photos! You can keep the snow for now as it will be here soon enough.

Nah, Jay, not intimidated....it just stunk really bad! Rotten egg smell. It took my breath away and fogged up my glasses when I walked through it.

Sulphur laden hot springs?
