Snowstorm

There is snow storm at the foothills so Hubby and I decided we are not going to leave for the cabin till the morning. The forecast have been really bad. we did not want to travel in the dark. Cooked chicken enchilada with Spanish rice for dinner. Both came out really good although the enchilada was a little spicy for my pallete. I used mild sauce and did not use any chili powder but still too spicy. I guess it is time to switch brand .. bye "Las Palmas". This will be the last time I use you.

Friday morning about 9:00 am we left for the cabin. Stopped at Lowe's, CH. Hubby have to get lumber for the deck and I got some picture hanging nails and a fern. The snow dropped as low as 1200 ft which is Cameron Park. While going up the hill you could see it covered.

Pleasant Valley Road below was well plowed.

Puerta del Sol Road was clear at the bottom right after the gate. Hubby decided to put the chain on the truck in case there is a problem. The drive up the hill was slow.

The road to the cabin off the main road was not plowed. The truck have a hard time going up the hill because of the thick snow. We got to our gate and the truck is stucked.

The drive way was covered with about two feet of snow, fresh powder. We have to get off and shovel the driveway.

The house is too cold. Cannot turn the heater on. There is no power. According to the neighbor the power was off late last night. About 15:00 it stated to snow again. The house is too cold, and cannot cook we decided to come back to Sacramento. It was snowing hard, large clumps, and when we left the area where we shoveled is already covered. We also drove the Land Cruiser, the only 4WD we have.
