Snowed Out!

Hello Fellow Travelers:

We were snowed OUT of Julian Thursday, can you believe it? Jan and I went down the hill to pick up some supplies for the cabin we are preparing for our new Youth Director. It had been raining most of the day down the hill but as we listened to the news, we found out it was snowing in Julian (and eventually snowed all the was down to Ramona - 1,100 ft level.)

As we were returning home, Caltrans and the CHP had all roads leading to Julian closed down due to snow and ice. We had to spend the evening with our daughter in San Diego.

We returned to Julian on Friday morning and got stuck in ice. We had to be towed off the road. Fortunately, we were near someone we knew and was towed to her driveway. Since the temperatures were in the 40's the ice melted by mid afternoon. We were able to retrieve our car and get it safely home. 

What a day!

Shalom.

Pastor Rick
