Snow Pictures From My Deck

My house is located in Cascade Shores, outside of Nevada City.  I’ve used a GPS and the elevation of the house is 3,700 feet.  On a clear day, you can see Scotts Flat Lake.  On a very clear day, you can see the Coast Range Mountains, but there aren’t too many days when that happens. I took these shots at around 8 am this morning.  There’s 12 to 14 inches of snow, depending upon where I measured on the deck.

Looks like a nice Christmas Tree

The top outside edge of the hot tub has 14 inches of snow.

We’ve finally had a real snow fall in Nevada County last night and early this morning. We’ve also had the power go out in Cascade Shores, (where I live), last night for about 4 hours.

I measured the amount of snowfall this morning on my back deck after it stopped snowing and it came in at 11 inches. The pictures tell the rest of the story.
