snow in the foothills

We got an unusually cold storm here in Northern California this morning, bringing snow to lower levels than we've seen in many years. Of course this was the morning I was scheduled to go uphill to Auburn and move my artwork from one wall to another... I waited a little to let some roads clear up, which proved to be a good strategy. I got my artwork moved and added a little - you can see more detail by clicking on the image here.




On the way home I had to stop to take a couple pictures:

just below 1000 ft

Cold, breaking clouds, snow rapidly melting and falling off the valley oaks in large clumps. I've been dripped on a fair amount but I don't really mind, this snowfall is such a rare sight of beauty this low in the foothills.
