Waking up to snow
Our area experienced some unusual weather last Friday. Rain, wind, hail, thunder and lightning all seemed to make an appearance at one time or another within a 24-hour period. Thunderstorms are relatively rare on the Central California Coast, which would include Santa Cruz County. What is even more rare is the sight of snow at low elevations. We're accustomed to seeing a dusting and even an accumulation of several inches on the mountains surrounding our area, but snow at sea level, or even at 100 feet above sea level, is the kind of thing that makes people get their cameras out. One of my spouse's co-workers snapped this evidence near his home in the city of Watsonville.
Unfortunately, by the time I was up and around that morning the white stuff was long gone. So I'm glad a few people got some pictures to document it.
