11 For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone; The rainy season ends in May in Israel. May to September is my high watch season. Donna, if there was anything on the shelves there then you are fortunate. The stores are bare here. The wait to get home delivery is now past seven days and they are not taking any advanced orders. It will be interesting to see how long people remain civil. Geri, being originally from Pennsylvania and living in Michigan I have seen some long, cold winters. Granted, I was much younger then, but I have to say that I wish it would stay winter here a bit longer. I like cold weather. At least when I lived in California I could drive up to Big Bear or Lake Arrowhead and get in the snow and cold. Tammie, that sounds so wonderful! Given how everything is lining up we could see it this year! 2ndComing, May works! Alright I googled Big Bear and Lake Arrowhead and I have to admit I’m wowed by the pictures. I thought all of California had ugly mountains ... being brown from lack of rain and sometimes on fire. But I’m puzzled about how it can be “cold” there when the mountains are smack in the middle of “southern” California? LA winters are like 50 degrees. That’s considered a major heat wave for a Vermont winter. Do they make man made snow and are you skiing in shorts? I know farther north ... Lake Shasta has real snow ... my brother goes there a lot and bike rides in the summer time. Also goes to Lake Tahoe but I think that is in Nevada? Lake Tahoe is in California but is very close to Nevada. I’ve been there and it is very beautiful and scenic. Yes indeed ... very stunning area. Ok, thanks for the clarification its on the California side because he used to live in Reno, NV too ... so I can see why he likes to return to Lake Tahoe.
