Let It Snow

I spent a day up in Yosemite in December of 2012.  It was a drought year, but a storm had blown through a few days previously leaving a foot or so of snow in the valley.  I don't think you can beat Yosemite in these conditions.  The valley never looks prettier and there aren't a lot of people.  The sound of snowfall down the cliff faces can occasionally be heard, other than that it's exceptionally quiet and peaceful.

We had a lot of rain this last December, but the pictures I'm seeing from Yosemite's webcams show no snow in the valley and only a dusting on top of Half Dome.  We need a lot more snow but we've had nothing but sun for the last couple of weeks.  Argh.
