Maybe the forecast Santa Ana winds this week will be an opportunity for snowmaking because this forecast doesn’t sound great.

Incredibly there is still powdery snow on the northwest ridge above the trees.

Nice

My kids and I love playing here since the stream flows all year. We built a stone shelter and dam last summer, and this storm washed it out to the desert. A great reminder of our impermanence without an Ozymandian time scale - even if the kids are not quite old enough to appreciate it yet…

That’s probably even more true than normal today since it rained a lot in the desert yesterday, meaning that upslope flow onto the San Gabriels north slopes is going to be pretty wet. If Caltrans keeps the 2 open, that area will be a good bet later this week!

Based on the radar I think precipitation coverage is a little more than NWS had forecast. Also when reading the forecast discussion, I neglected to remember that while NNW flow is downslope (dry) for the metro areas, it’s *upslope* (wet) for Blue Ridge, BP, and Throop.

We shall see 😎
