Towards the last days of 2014… it was super cold and everyone started getting snow in the weather forecast for OC. Was this a glitch? SNOW?! Then when December 30 rolls around, the freezing temperatures came throughout the night and the winds blew the clouds over to Temecula and Lake Elsinore area where snow fell. It covered so much of Ortega Hwy and Cleveland National Forest. We just had to come check it out ourselves the first day of 2015.
It was insane! I haven’t played with real snow in probably more than a decade and to feel how soft it was… was so cool! IT WAS SO FLUFFY!
Some restaurants and stores along the way…
