Our old hometown, 450 miles away and a complete opposite climate, has received their first snowfall in ages. According to one observer, "Two and four inches of heavy, wet snow fell on portions of Temecula and Murrieta. It remains the only time in 25 years at my Murrieta home when enough snow fell for us to build a small snowman.". Light snow also fell near Temecula in 2002, 1990 and 1985. Old-timers recall the seven inches of snow that fell on Old Town in 1967.
