Heading up to do Harwood and Baldy via Register Ridge tomorrow morning. First snow of the season!

No freaking way! I had no idea there was even any precipitation forecast. I need to get out of my office and look at the sky more often.

Oh, wow! I actually got rained on on my ride home last night but didn't realize there would be any measurable precip.

There is some snow on Marion Peak and above cc 9.5k on San Jacinto. It has been raining on and off in Idyllwild since last night.

Sam,

Where was this photo taken? I'm assuming Angeles Crest Hwy is still shut tight?

Well you'll just have to read the trip report.

It will be gone in a day or two, but still, nice to see.

I had breakfast this morning (11/13) in the Baldy Bowl. The vicinity was dusted with 2 to 4 inches of snow, starting 500ft below the hut. Very scenic, swirling clouds. Someone coming down said the summit had at least 6 inches and very high winds.

On the descent I saw two Nelson Bighorns, 300ft from me. Only the second time in 25 years I've seen bighorns in the San Gabriels. Cool!

I hiked up Sugarloaf this morning. Got great doses of rain all the way from Temecula and along the 38. Smushy snow flurries at 6500', snow on the ground at 8000' and constant pellet flurries on my hike. Beautiful day hiking in patchy clouds with small accumulation (maybe 1/2"). I was pretty jazzed about getting caught up in the first snow of the season! :lol:

Beautiful!

Though it may not last long, these early season dustings definitely motivate and set the mood.

Steve, how come you don't see bighorns much? I almost always see them.

There's no snow on San Gorgonio. Just a little rime ice on some of the small trees near the summit, but no snow on the ground.
