Woke up Sunday morning to 4" of snow, no power till lunchtime, no internet or phone till this morning and biting cold winds coming down from the Sierra Nevada. We've had 2 olive branches collapse under the weight of the snow, and there is an almond tree down over the footpath on the way to the spring and 4 olive trees have lost large branches near there as well. The broad beans, parsnips and potatoes are still buried under the snow and most of the geraniums which were huge, are now very flat! Not all broken, just squashed so there is some hope for them.
The ski slopes of Sierra Nevada opened a week early this year on the 15th November because there is so much snow around!
