OMG, it is HEAVILY snowing!! My deck is already covered with 1/2 an inch or more!! Photos by morning!! 

The snow is still on the ground, but the snow did not continue, and  my footprints still show. Tonight, KCOY out of Santa Maria is reporting snow levels down to 3K ft. tonight. (Duh) but down to 1K feet tomorrow night. I did check our local forecast discussion, and they have not changed earlier reports by much.

So, it is definitely an interesting storm. Keep it in perspective, though. When I think I am cold, I hear reports of minus 27 on the East Coast. THAT is cold!!

Monday 12/15 weather report

11 am – this is what was left over from last night’s storm, still around at 11, but only on the north side.
