Californian snow



Yes, snow does happen here too, although not quite like in Canada or Switzerland. Here, it comes by the road, on a truck... It's a tradition in the little town we live in, for Thanksgiving. The small steep street leading to the mission gets closed, the snow gets dumped on gigantic plastics surrounded by straw bales, and we can luge. Well, the bottom of the slope quickly feels more like canoeing than sliding, but it's easier than a three hour drive for the luge. (There's indeed lots of snow in California, but in the Eastern part, in the Sierra; by the ocean, it happens once in a while, for a few hours).
