Magalia, California, received a little more than a foot of snow on Feb. 24-25, 2011. The event was lovely, though the heavy white stuff brought down lots of trees and power lines in the area. Our house was without power from 7:30 a.m. on the 25th to 9 a.m. on the 26th. We made the best of it with plenty of wood for the stove, lanterns and candles, and lots of reading material. Late in the day on the 25th, after digging out our driveway, Donna and I took a tour of the area in my pickup. In addition to county snowplows, the majority of the vehicles moving about had logos on them like PG&E, AT&T, and Comcast. Here's a thanks to PG&E crews and others who converged on the area to get us back on the grid! Photos ŠAlan Sheckter / AlSheck@comcast.net. Images may not be republished without documented permission.
