The flatlands had rain and slippery roads. Sorry. Lake Arrowhead had snow, near a foot, and slippery, sliding, sledding hillsides. The winter interlude we all dream of is snowmen and snow forts, snow bunnies making snow angels - part of the forever memories now. The kids will have about four days to play before school again Monday. It's been 30 years for Patsy and Bob here on the mountain, a mile closer to heaven, with boots, heavy jackets, cautious driving, crowded markets getting ready for 'the big one'. If you are thinking about a snow-visit, call us at 909-336-2131 for a 'looking out the window' weather report. You might need chains. Drop in CB and say hello. Yes, it is a mile closer to heaven.

The roads are clear and dry but stairways and decks are still a caution. After the most recent 6 inches of rain our lake will soon be FULL. God is blessing us with snow for fun and melting to water, filling our lake and keeping the forest wet deep into the root system. As global warming continues, we become acutely aware of the needs of our lake drinking water supply and resistance to forest fires with a moist green landscape. In time Lake Arrowhead may be one of the few mild climate zones in all of Southern California.

The snow, trees, kids playing is a joy but shoveling and snow plows are now getting much of the attention. If you are coming up, chains will be required... and it is slippery... cold too... 20 degrees Monday morning. The sun is out. Some melting can begin, especially important on the blacktop roads. The cheering from everyone is that the lake will surely fill to the top. We are blessed to live and enjoy the four seasons, truely a mile closer to heaven. For an up to the minute weather / road report, call 909-336-2131 for 'looking out the window' from my office.
