Rain, hail, snow!

Mom and I left at 7:15 am for our doctor appointments in Carmel Valley. It was our first time there and the trip was a little harrowing. First, we drove through snow in Pine Valley, then followed the Prius's navigation system to the general vicinity of Scripps-Carmel Valley, then got stuck in a u-turn loop, not really knowing where we were going. We finally broke off and just winged it. Got there in time, of course.

On the way back, we ran into some heavy rain in Santee, so we stopped for breakfast. The rain let up and we went on to Pine Valley where it was still snowing. The Prius is not built for snow.

We got home ok and then it started hailing, followed by snow.

This is nothing compared to the East Coast, of course. They are really getting it with heaps of snow and very high winds. I wouldn't want to travel there right now.

Finally!

We watched the final episode of Season 2 Downton Abbey and were thrilled at the ending. I threw up my arms and said, "Yes!" When I looked at Dennis, he had tears running down his face. We love this program. Can't tell you what happened, though. Would be a spoiler.
