Snow in Santa Cruz!!

I didn't have my camera with me on UCSC campus, where it was A LOT, but here's Chris's car after driving back home! I wiped it off so he could drive, but this is all the snow that fell during the drive!


Here is the front of his car, with a pile of snow!


Ok, so most of it is really hail, not FLAKES of snow. It's actually more dangerous, because it's all ice, so the roads are extra slippery. On top of all this "snow," it is the biggest lightning storm of the year! The thunder is RIGHT on top of us. Wish I had better pictures. Maybe if this keeps up tomorrow, I'll take some more.

Next Day:
Here's one more from last night.. It didn't come out very well. I think my breath is obscuring it, but those are my footprints in the snow outside of my house:


Ok, here are some more pictures from the next day. Most of the snow had melted, but here's what I could find:
Here's the view of snowy mountains in the distance...


Snow by a fence...


As you can see, it's more like pellets of hail than soft snow...


By Porter Apts...


And the Performing Arts Bridge (or is it called Kerr Bridge, I have no idea)...


I wish I'd had my camera last night. It definately snowed the most at Porter, where we were. There was about an inch or an inch and a half, while it was comin down hard. Chris couldn't see the road (Empire Grade) so we drove about 5 miles per hour!!! It was pretty crazy.
