Where are these photos of snow taken?

No, it’s not Tahoe. 

It’s Concord, Clayton, California on December  8, 9, 2009

Magical, and long lasting …our golden hills look marvelous with a coat of snow.  Normally (the few times it has snowed here)  it melts in a couple of hours, it lasted a couple of days.  Breathtaking and with luck stayed over Wednesday, which is grandpa day for 4 of our 5 grandchildren.  The kids rewarded grandpa with a couple of snowballs.
