First Snow Line

From the pictures I’ve seen, later in the winter when we get snow down to 3,000′ or lower (and they start closing the I-15 from LA to Las Vegas), not only will we (at least briefly) have snow in our yard, but the low hills all around will be covered in snow for weeks and months at a time.

For today, following yesterday’s cold storm, the snow level got down to somewhere below 6,000 feet. Off to our southwest, Mt San Antonio (10,000+ feet) should be a gorgeous, snow-capped wonder, but it was still covered in clouds. However, off to the east, there was some snow on Rattlesnake Mountain (6,093 feet).

Again, not nearly as bright and magnificent as I expect it to be later in the winter, but it’s a first. Through binoculars, the snow line was quite distinct, which I’ve always found to be fascinating.

As I said yesterday, I’m a clueless doof. And easily amused. Hopefully in the same manner as a golden retriever.
