How could you not love something so beautiful? Now don't get me wrong folks...I've scooped, shoveled, and skidded all over the road and cursed that white, flakey stuff. But I have also stood in a yard with large flakes falling gently to the ground that created a sense of silence to take your breath away. I have watched as dogs romped and played in their 1st snow...drank a 67 Lafitte Rothchild from styrofoam cups around a hastily built fire in 87. Snow was a part of each of those experiences. That said...it was 70, clear, and absoultely bootiful her in N CA today. No snow...stunningly clear...and no need for gloves or an over coat. Lemme see...do I want snow, gloves, slush, salt on my 1/4 panels, or another wonderful day in Caleefornia...as "Da Governator" would say? I hate those hard choices...
