Winter around San Francisco is warm and there's no sign of snow. But if you really want to see a snowy winter, you can drive about 300 kilometers to Lake Tahoe and there it is.

It's a really popular spot—everyone loves having that controllable weather where you can turn on the cold for a couple days and then head back to the warmth. Plus you can ski and snowboard there too.

We got a ton of snow this year. On the north side, there's easily 3-5 feet piled up, so some of the hiking trails and parking areas aren't very accessible right now. We'll have to come back and check them out sometime in the summer.
