Quite A Winter

We took some time out of our hectic sea level lives to enjoy our mountain ranch this February and we arrived just 10-minutes before the snow flyed! And 6-inches by the next morning! Quite a treat as last February (2010) we braved Highway 79 up from Alpine in a Kia sedan during a blinding - literally - snowstorm!
March Snow
Luckily (and blessed from some great prayers from the lovely Martha and some fancy driving from Michael, who hadn't driven in snow since his days in Illinois) we arrived back at the ranch minutes before the plows came out to clear the highway. During "snow days" here in Julian, be prepared and bring chains! Once you get here, you're okay but, whew, the roads are something else to the unprepared.
