First Snow

Our street after first snow

Poor Daffodils didn't like the snow!

Orchids - I have 6 stalks this year.
We had our first snow Monday night - it sure was cold enough for it.  Rained all day, hailed some and by evening it was snowing. Now, in Southern California, we don't get a lot of snow if you don't live in the mountains.  We are about 2400 feet at the base of the mountains through the pass to Palm Springs and always get snow at least once every year.  This was our street early in the morning, notice the snow does not stick to the streets, only lawns, flowerbeds, roofs and cars.  It was ruined my newly blooming daffodils and hoping that when it warms up a bit, they will stand up again.  - Hasn't hurt my orchids, they withstood it all and are starting to open the flowers - this pot is on my front porch.

Of  course, the mountains look beautiful this time of year, all covered with snow.
