We've been enjoying beautiful weather both in the valley and up here as well. Temps have been in mid to high 60's at my house and I'm a couple hundred feet higher than Oakhurst proper.
The weather guessers are showing rain all weekend in the valley but they're forecasting snow for the foothills. The forecast reads 5" of snow at the 3000' level for Saturday night and 8" snow at 2500' or lower for Sunday night. My house sits at 3000'. Guess I'll go out and wrap pipes, cover planter boxes and bring other plants in or at least put them on the front porch where they'll be somewhat protected. I need to remember today or tomorrow to charge the batteries in my emergency lanterns and camera and to bring in bags of pellets for the stove. A crockpot of a hearty soup and cornbread ready and waiting sounds like a plan.
I'll miss the warm & pleasant days we've been enjoying but I always love the first snow of the season. I could easily have waited a few more weeks, however, because it makes me want to get out all my Christmas decorations and we haven't done Thanksgiving yet.
Enjoy the change of seasons, everyone!
