A White Thanksgiving!

Well, if we don’t get a white Christmas, we here in Carson City at least got a very white Thanksgiving! The snow really came down yesterday, dumping enough to make the valley floor look like some mountain town in Wyoming. It was an amazing sight, so I headed out to spend some time with the family and to get some valuable experience driving in the snow! As someone who grew up (and learned to drive) in the very sunny south part of California, it was definitely a unique and enjoyable experience. And with the reports of more snow in our future, I’m sure it won’t be the last time I drive in snow!
