How long has it been snowing? Let me count the days. I think this is day 5. Cal Trans and County have been working hard to keep our streets and mountain open, but Mother Nature is winning this one.

It started to get a little cool so our efforts were channeled inside. Being it is tax time and having just purchased a shredder tha...
