In early 2010, Big Bear Lake, CA had a record snow storm. Along the coast of So Cal, many cities were pummeled with severe flooding. Big Bear was covered in at least five feet of snow. Some areas of Big Bear, like Moonridge, suffered more, but the entire community worked together to ease the suffering of others nearby.

At first I began to question living in Big Bear because of these scenarios but now I feel a sense of confirmation. Rooftops are covered in feet of snow and holding, Chimneys are heating homes where the power is out. But all in all these abodes are boding well. And now my family is snuggled by the fire playing Yahtzee and telling stories by candlelight and strolling through the streets of fantastic snow hills in the early morning.

I didn’t know if we would be able to get food or stretch our legs or find a cure for cabin fever until we began to shovel our driveway. Then I saw people on my street working together to remove the snow impasses. I walked through a foot of snow to the end of my block and waved to all of my neighbors and they waved back. The offered me help and supplies and I politely declined.

Then I returned to my cabin to face the fever with my family again only to find that we are becoming closer in this time and that we are paying more attention. We have wood and food. We have shelter. And where some might think our home is like a prison, I feel like I am on vacation every day.

We were definitely forging new memories together in our new environment. It was very special to me. It seemed like we did the same thing every day, but oddly enough it did not bother any of us too much. Well, maybe my teenager.

When I went to the grocery store, I saw a lot of frantic people who were visiting Big Bear for the snow. I am glad we live up here because the security of knowing the area definitely alleviated the stress of the entire situation. Hopefully, we will be able to prevail through any weather conditions in Big Bear.
