Above about 5,000 feet (1,700 meters) altitude in our local mountains, yesterday's rainstorm was a snow storm. We drove up this morning, taking a little-used single-lane paved road from just south of Pine Valley up alongside Noble Canyon to the area just north of Laguna Peak. Often this road is closed when there's snow on the ground, but today the gates were still open and we had a lovely drive.
Miki, our youngest field spaniel, came along with us. He's seen snow before, but only a couple of times; it's still a novelty to him. We stopped near the high point of the road and had a delightful romp in the snow with Miki (photos below). Toward the end, I throw a few snowballs at him when he wasn't looking – it took him five snowballs to figure out that I was doing it!
