Batten down the hatches!
Yikes,
After a night, morning and early afternoon of rain and winds gusting to 35 mph+, at 2:30 pm this afternoon, we actually got some blue sky.
Now, its 3:45 pm, just got back from walking the dogs, the sky is black, black, black; wind is increasing, thunder thundering and there is a 20 mile
wide stormfront on the water horizon rapidly approaching landfall.
Got to go get another sweater

Medio Camino (halfway btwn TJ & Ensenada)
on the Pacific coast.
37 miles below the border, on the oceanfront.
Oceanfront weather is a lot harsher than what hits the inland areas, because the warmer landmass breaks up and disperses the energy of the oncoming
weather front.

For the first time this year, I look out the west windows and the entire length of the Sierra San Pedro Matir is white.

Hmm...nice western view, bajalou
This is the western view at the great-grandparent's ranch....also white. Those are our grandkids making a snowslide out of some snowplowing I had to
do to feed the cattle. (I think my lens filter is wrong!...it is not that blue here!)
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

Corky...
..get the mukluks on the kids and get them out there on the carousel!
Hmmm?..Y'know, I think I may have seen those hills and breaks before. Got a few mule deer bounding through them?
Just before leaving Coyote Bay I took this morning shot of our backyard. I call this 'Coyote Bay Cloudy'....which is also a favorite c-cktail I enjoy
from time to time.
Coyote Bay Cloudy: tall glass of ice - whiskey - soda - dash of coke. Take out on patio and sip slowly until dinner bell rings.
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

Sounds like a tee shirt I saw for sale recently:
"I like my women like I like my whiskey;
Twelve years old and mixed up with coke."
Hey, it wasn't me- it was the tee...
All my childhood I wanted to be older. Now I\'m older and this chitn sucks.

Great fun in the snow today with Baja Angel and Chris... Went up Palomar via Nate Harrison Grade (dirt) then down to Lake Henshaw and out via Ramona.
Snow down to Lake Henshaw shoreline... San Diego winter wonderland.... Very rare to see so much white down here!
Brought back a bunch to Oceanside for snowman on front lawn!
Have photos, may post (rare non-Baja pics, LOL)!

Lou, that is one fine picture. And it is an answer to a question I had been meaning to ask you. We'll see how much snow is left when I go for the
peak first weekend of May.

It'll be interesting to see what next weekend's storm brings. Now it appears that the heavyest snow is on the peaks to the south of Diablo.
But - I'm thinking you'll be seeing some.

So, has there been enough rain mid-peninsula to make any flowers this year? We are headed to San Ignacio in 2 weeks, hoping for some color in the
desert.
Las Vegas paper yesterday said the wildflowers in Death Valley and Nevada deserts were the least in recent years.
(and the P.A. guy at LVMS on Saturday for the Busch race said "it was snowing at press box level at 8 a.m." Man it was cold, and they ran the race
late so they could finish under the lights.... brrrrrrr)
