Ceaseless Wonders
Speaking of wonders never ceasing, here is what I saw as I left for the hospital today. That white stuff on the ground is known in many parts of the world as "snow." According to many textbooks, it is a result of precipitation during temperatures below freezing.
Apparently, we received a dusting of snow overnight. It was actually a combination of a wet snow and sleet, and, of course, it melted away by mid-morning, but the mountains are still very beautiful. I believe that this is the first time it has snowed in Loma Linda since I've been here. 
I know that some of you live in Michigan or Alaska or maybe Antarctica. Perhaps you are used to driving dogsleds and losing fingers and toes to frostbite. Snow is no big deal to you. But to those of us in SoCal where the winter daytime temperatures never drop below 50 degrees F, it's a virtual blizzard.
Note: Check out the snow on the palm tree. Isn't that just weird?

Yes,it is different to see snow in California. Enjoy it while it lasts. It hasn't even snowed here in Tennessee yet except a few flurries. I enjoyed your gyc pictures.
Wow! I was wishing I could visit Sothern Cal to experience a nice temperate winter, but maybe I'll stay here in the South where it hit 70 today. By the way, does the heat work a little better than the AC in your car? :)
How cool!!! I remember when I lived in higher elevations in Arizona how exciting it was to see pictures of those few times when it snowed in the valley. Saguaro cactus with snow on it is also a beautiful sight. I hope you enjoyed your short experience with winter. :)
The day it was 70 something in Arkansas, it SNOWED in Loma Linda! I grew up there an it's NEVER snowed like that before! Waahhh~~~No fair!
By the way...what ever happened to global warming???
How does it snow in SoCal before it snows in Tennessee? That's just NOT right. >.< Something's just WRONG with this picture...@.@
*sigh*
I want snow...
Well...maybe you deserved to see snow at least once in your lifetime in Loma Linda...that way you can tell your grandkids about that fateful day...and they can marvel that the temperature ever dropped that low.
