Not Quite There Yet
Melissa and I went up to Truckee yesterday to meet up with my brother Daniel's (aka "Tundra Sully") girlfriend Rebecca, who was visiting a friend in San Francisco. Conveniently, the friend's name is also Rebecca. We had a great time showing them Squaw Valley and the Lake--is it weird that I so love playing tour-guide?--despite the fact that yesterday was the first day in about three months that we've had rainy weather.
By the time we got back to Truckee it was late in the day, and the rain had turned to snow:
I was elated because I thought that maybe at long last we might be getting some real snowfall in the Sierra. Unfortunately this morning it appears that most of the ski resorts got only two or three inches, not nearly enough to consider opening up. We're going to have to continue to wait.

Thank you SO much for taking "The Rebecca's" around Lake Tahoe, Truckee, and Squaw Valley!!
I was freezing at first, but loving the snow by the end of the day:):):) I hope that Melissa gets to do a segment on the Squaw Valley photographer we met!!!
I need to spend some more time in that area, it was so nice! Holiday gathering '06...?!?!?!??!
I can't tell you how badly I want the whole family out here for a ski vacation. The only barrier seems to be the cost of airfare combined with the cost of renting a cabin.
careful what you wish for, my baby is a bargain hunter. she'll have us booked before you know it.
The real OC is expected to get between 6-7" of snow over tonight and tomorrow. The Loup opened Saturday. It is a little sad that I don't like the snow and will not be enjoying it.
HA! THE "REAL" OC! That's great! For those of you not in the know, Darcy is referring to one of my many former stomping grounds, Okanogan County, Washington. That's where I spent a little over a year as a Public Defender. I met some woderful people (like Darcy) but there's not too much goin' on up there. The Real OC's official slogan is "There's a Wal-Mart AND a Safeway in Omak!"
And coming soon a Home Depot!
