Spring "Snain"

"Snain" is my word for the wierd snow/rain combo we sometimes get in Tehachapi. I'm sure it has a more formal term, but I like saying 'snain' just 'cause it's fun to say! Well, to "celebrate" spring, apparently the Tehachapi mountains wanted to give a final send-off to winter with a brief snow storm yesterday. It was largely rain, but mid morning there were some nice sized snowflakes and some even stuck to the ground and roof. This is why we 'locals' wait just a bit longer to start full gardening for the season - but I think overall I can probably start pulling out my hummingbird feeder and watch for their return. :)
