Leaving work today at about 3:45pm (Hurrah for New Years weekend, early release!) I happened to look over to the east from where I was in Pasadena. When what to my wondering eyes did appear, snow on the higher elevation mountains in what I think are the eastern San Gabriels! It’s cool, because at that time of day the sun is beginning to set to the west and is casting really nice horizontally-slanted beams as it goes down, which highlighted the snow on the west-facing hills I was looking at.

We got a ton of rain late last week and I guess I just didn’t make the connection to getting snow locally. I believe I was looking at Mt. Baldy or at least some of the surrounding mountains (Baldy is a local resort just east of San Gabriel Valley/Claremont that I haven’t been to yet because of last year’s horrible dry winter. I understand it goes off when we get lots of snow in a season, fingers crossed!)

Here’s a picture I attempted to snap with my Blackberry - apparently it doesn’t do so well with distance shots But it is nice to be in Los Angeles and still have a nearby reminder of snow, snow, snow!
