| A severe snow storm hit Northern California late in the afternoon on December 28, 2003. This was the worst snow storm to hit the area since 1975. Montana de Robles received between 18 to 24 inches of wet, heavy snow. The power was out for nine hours, and we were forced to use our back up generator. Dozens of tree limbs lay scattered around the property, and clean up will take some time. The Live Oaks were the most widely damaged. Fortunately there was no damage to structures. |
