Lake Tahoe received three to four inches over the weekend, but – as Clayton Peoples reports – “the southwest portion, including Emerald Bay, got more because a band of “lake-effect snow.”
Curiosity motivated him to see if the leaves he’d photographed two weeks ago had held during/after the snow. His visit last evening shows they’re still glowing bright red and orange. Yes, nearly Past Peak, but perhaps with a few more days of color to enjoy.
Clayton describes this end of autumn, early start of winter as a “clash of seasons,” with foliage still hanging on and snow on the ground. We call it, beautiful.
