Are you * Kiddin Me?

This was at 9:00AM, taken by my wife. I'm stuck down the hill...... Hopefully I get back on Sunday.

Holy Moly, that's a heck of a lot more snow than I expected. How many feet is at your place?

The snow will be piled up for you when you get home!

We got about 20" here at the ranch. Makes for a beautiful day but chores are a bit more involved.

Lake Arrowhead and Big Bear always seem to get more snow then we do in the San Gabriels. That being said, we are at 4,500 ft where we live.

Beautiful! We had snow fall in La Crescenta so I wondered how much fell up there. Now I know! Be safe guys.

Not too bad this time but it plays heck with my casting practice. The line freezes in the guides after a few pick ups!

We got 24" in Running Springs. Wife not real happy as she had tomove it out of the driveway including removing a 4 foot berm the plow made. Guess I should've flown to SoCal for the weekend (I'm in Boise) to help move it, but hey, you can never predict how much you'll get in any given storm. She sent me a pdf zip file with about 3 dozen pictures. This was the largest storm, snowwise, we've had this season.

I imagine Mammoth area got a lot also?

Nice, just a little jealous too. It snowwed all day in Apple Valley, but none of it stuck.

Curtis, looks like you need to take a few homebrew and carefully open the sliding glass door and set them outside in the snow. Next step grab a shovel and start at the camper.. Do not stop digging until you have found the the homebrew and the just reward for all of the digging. Well if it was me digging I would have to put out a beer every few feet before it started to snow :) Called planning ahead hehe.

All fun aside it looks like you guys up in the mountains have a great view. I would freak if I saw something like that outside... How long do I have to shovel that stuff just to get to my car and shovel that out to aww the heck with it.. I'm calling in sick to work :)


Wildman looks like you have a postcard view with the carraige covered in snow... The picture with the tree branches covered in several inches of snow is majestic. Psst now is a great time to use that sleigh that is covered in the snow :)

Funny how cars buried in snow can make one think of trout.
