a snowstorm is coming

It was nearly a month without any new snow. This area in the Sierras near Shaver Lake, California didn’t get snowed on for almost the entire month on January. Until now. I saw that there was a storm in the forecast that projected about 5-6 inches of fresh snow, so I decided to drive up the mountain hours before the storm was supposed to come in and set up for an overnight truck camping trip. I wanted to be there to welcome the storm and the new snow. These are some images that I took before the storm and after of the fresh snowfall. It was a cold, dark and long night in my truck camper but it was definitely worth it.
