Snow in Southern California

The first really significant rainstorm hit the Southland yesterday, and we're expecting another system or two to come through this Thursday through Saturday. A cold front accompanied by high winds followed the recent rain, and our temperatures here in La Cresta have dipped below freezing for the past two days. In fact, right now, at 9:50pm, it's already down to 33F. Dang! that's just too cold for us temperate-weathered types.

The snow level for this last storm was probably around 3,000-4,000 feet, so we didn't get any snow in the Santa Ana Mountains.  However, on the drive to work this morning, we saw some beautiful snow-covered peaks in the San Gabriel and San Bernardino ranges.
