"What a difference a day makes, twenty four little hours".

From the song written by Maria Grever & Stanley Adams

A much-needed snow has been falling since we woke up at 5:30 this morning.

Big Bear's current winter, as of today, has brought less than half of the precipitation of our previous driest year on record, 2002.

We're still hoping for a couple of big 'March Miracle' storms but this one is definitely timely and appreciated.

About 3 inches has fallen here thus far but the storm seems to be dissipating now.

We had another 4 inches last week, which melted as soon as the sun came out, and we'll happily take every inch we can get.

Our daughter Jamie called from Lake Tahoe last night to tell us she had over 4 feet of fresh snow at their place, and it was still falling.

We are a mountain and snow loving family.

I posted today's wintry scene in good old-fashioned black & white for effect.
