Finally, Serious Snow

It's Friday, and the sun is out, the air is warm. Some tendrils of aromatic smoke from controlled burns wrap the trees. Our diminishing snowpack is under assault from the sun.

BUT.

Tonight, a storm rolls in late and is due to hang around until Monday. The forecast is for 2 - 4 feet above 7000 feet, possibly more still on the sierra crest. On the National Weather Service map, it's all red for the next few days. 

It's been awhile since we've had a snow day. By the time you read this, we'll be in the thick of white stuff. Yahoo.
