That is quite an event for central California! Not only that there were visible snowflakes, but that the snow actually collected on the ground. We had over an inch. The day after was the first day of vacation for most of our students -- they had a ball! I realize that those in the Midwest and east are shaking their heads right now, but it was pretty amazing for us! Cathy (Behymer) Silva
