Thanks. Did you have snow in Cali this Winter. Last time I was there in January, it was 70+ degrees.

This is the first set of pics where I think I did the Mina grille justice.

Edit - couple more:




Anyone else have snow pics? I know there are some in the Christmas competition thread, but I won't go an far as take them myself.

Yeah we got some snow in California over up in Tahoe, it's been in the 30's where I live but no sight of snow here, unfortunately.

How did you get photos that show your tire treads in the snow, but no appartent footprints leading from the car???

Inquiring minds want to know!

Default snow pictures

Haven't figured out how to upload pictures...BUT here in Tahoe (Nevada side of the lake, of course), we got several feet of the white stuff so far. At lake level, I have on my front lawn over 8 or so feet...and that is not where the plow or snow-blower did their job. It is sunny and 15 degrees now. Have been in Northern Maine..Sugarloaf, and Saddleback...I will concur that they also get snow...but it is much colder there...usually below zero with the wind... If you can tell me how to upload the ipctures...well....

If you take the photos from a low angle, the footprints aren't visible. The camera is a cheap Samsung SL50, which seems to take better pictures than my Fuji SLR.

This isn't a picture of snow, but more the aftermath of snow. This is my car one week after having last taken it to the car wash. Been snowing pretty much a little every other day or snow for a week now. This is one of the reasons I hate winter.

I've been moaning for weeks to my wife, dog, baby, anyone that will listen, etc, about how long the winter seems to have dragged on around here ...

...and now, finally, as the daffodils are just starting to ping out of the ground, I come across this thread and I'm thinking to myself - "can't wait to the next really big dump of snow".......
