Pounding down snow over the mountain passes here in California right now.

 Snow coming down hard at Kingvale on Highway 80.  Temperatures dropping through the night.  Furry creatures shivering in their burrows, while nervous winter travelers hope to make it safely to lower elevations without disastrous mishap.

A dark and lonely road as the snow muffles any but the harshest sound, on Highway 50 at Echo Summit.  Only the purr of the occasional car, or the horrific scream of a hungry Sasquatch breaks the silence of centuries.

Ok, no more alcohol for me tonight....
