Early and Cold Winter 2016

While we were enjoying the Mexican sun in early December the South Coast got hit by a winter storm. The spouses of  our flying friends were stuck at home shoveling snow. First ski reports came in at the end of October, though we waited until late November until we got our skis out. Nothing new as this happens frequently. But usually several juicy pineapple expresses take care of the snow and December and January are relatively dry. Not so this year. 2016 brought an unusual cold spell of 6 weeks frost that lasted until mid January.
