California Dreaming of a White Christmas (Yesterday)
So, you woke up this morning and thought, "Wait a minute, didn't I hear something about snow in California yesterday?" Well, you're not hallucinating! The Golden State, known for its sunshine and beaches, actually decided to throw a snow party. Who knew?
Where Did the Snow Actually Fall?
Let’s get one thing straight: California isn’t exactly known for its ski resorts. But when it does snow, it’s usually a big deal. Yesterday, the Sierra Nevada mountains got the brunt of the white stuff. We're talking feet of snow, not inches. Imagine waking up to a winter wonderland in the middle of California!
Did You Build a Snowman in San Diego?
Okay, so not everywhere in California saw snow. Beachgoers in San Diego can breathe a sigh of relief. But for those lucky (or unlucky, depending on your perspective) folks in the mountains, it was a full-on blizzard. We’re talking snow drifts higher than your average Californian.
Snow in California: A Rare and Precious Commodity
While it might seem inconvenient for some, this snow is actually super important. It's like nature's water bottle, storing precious H2O for the rest of the year. So, next time you're enjoying a refreshing glass of water, remember to thank the snow in the Sierra Nevada.
