Last month I finally made it up to Tahoe on two weekends (well, going up on Sunday and skiing Monday and Tuesday). Although it hasn’t snowed since the New Years weekend, the snow was in good condition despite the warm temps. But it hasn’t snowed since that big storm on New Year’s weekend and that made for a dry January. And current predictions show nothing for the first two weeks of February. Looks like all the snow is hitting Canada and the big freeze and snow dumps on the east coast.

Happy Chinese New Year!

Welcome to the Chinese Year of the Horse! The Chinese New Year starts February 17th kicking off the 16-day Spring Festival. The Horse gallops in with vibrant and fiery energy, symbolizing adventure, vitality, and momentum. People born on Horse Years (1954, 1966, 1978, etc,) are believed to be lively, charming and adventurous. Are you one of them? Do you know anyone with those traits? Check out Karen’s article on the outlook for Year of the Horse.
