Snow?

I was woken up by my Dad at 7am this morning. He was saying something about snow. I was like 'Yea yea, uh huh." And then he goes to my window and opens it wide and says "LOOK, SNOW!" I jumped up, fumbled around for my glasses and looked outside. Sure enough, there were some white specks.

For those of you who do not live in Sacramento, this is like historic!!! According to Wikipedia.org, "Snowfall is exceptionally rare in Sacramento (at an elevation of only 52 feet (16 m) above sea level). The all-time record snowfall was 3.5 inches (9 cm) and occurred on January 4, 1888. Dustings occur every 5–10 years, with up to an inch accumulation in outlying areas."

I got out of bed, put on some heavy duty jacket, grabbed my Nikon and took some pictures! :)

And on a random note, we actually like to burn firewood in our fireplace and this is what happened when my dad put the ashes under our Persimmon Tree ...

Good thing he checked on it a few minutes later and the fact that it was raining last night probably helped put out the FIRE! Poor Persimmon tree!
