Adventures in Tahoe

It is hard to believe I am really here living a life in the Sierra's!!  The first few weeks I had to keep reminding myself that Im not on vacation - I live here!!  Now as my life falls into the rhythm of a daily routine - I just smile and every now and again let out a laugh of disbelief!!  I can safely say I have acclimated to the altitude, I can navigate my way around town,  I have found several amazing cycling routes and awesome climbs, and I am finding the great places to eat that only the locals know about!! What I may Not be prepared for is Winter!!!!

Sept. 22nd was the first snowfall of the season...And I missed it!! I went to Dayton to visit my mom and came back in a bit of a rain storm but was devastated when I heard that not only did it snow in Truckee but also in Tahoe City where I work!! I missed it completely! Although it did get me to thinking about snow tires, all wheel drive, 4x4 and is my car ready for this!?  Do I need a windshield cover? Or should I get an ice scraper? Can I just throw water on the snow to wash it off the car??  I thought I had a few more weeks to figure this all out....but tonight, while at home the temps dropped, the rain fell and sure enough snow has covered the ground!!  Im filled with excitement of a New Adventure and then begin to wonder about tomorrow..... will I need a snow shovel,  will my car be safe to drive, do I have enough warm clothes?? I don't know the answers ....but that is part of the Adventure!!

Tahoe seems like a nice place to visit in the future. I wasn't interested about this place before, but I plan to go here sometime. I hope that it's as beautiful as you describe it to be. I've seen some of your posts and you've truly shown your appreciation to this city. I'll be adding this to my list of places to visit in the future.
