Beautiful...
So peaceful. When I lived in Colorado, I enjoyed evening walks so quiet... Everything seemed so clean..

Andy, Wait until Monday the 26th in the afternoon. Then head up I80 to Donner Pass. You will be in the snow

Merrill,

Is it supposed to snow tomorrow? We've been in Kings Beach since last Sunday and it's only rained and been in the low 60s during the day. Snow level >8500ft ! First Christmas in a long time there hasn't been many feet of snow around the lake.

Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays 914 Clubbers. . . .

Gustl, as always thanks for the pictures. Beautiful!
BTW you asked about the family. I found out my wife's maternal grandparents were born in Graz.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Do you live in a post card studio?

That's my favorite kind of snow

Just got off the 80 east. Bumper to bumper from bay area past Cordelia. You'd get there by tonight...

I was raised in Alaska and some of my fondest memories involve walks in fresh snow where you hear the crunch of the snow beneath your feet and not much else...it can be so still....ahh the memories of winter that we never have here in SF....Gustl you live in a very beautiful area. We may be in Germany for Christmas next year. My daughter in law and son are going to spend Christmas with her "host family" when she was an exchange student in high school and we have also been invited...it's a small town in the mountains that is known for their wood carving....
