Lunchtime Photo

I realize this will seem sort of pitiful to you folks east of the Mississippi, with your frigid weather and routine winter blizzards, but we don't get many blizzards here in Southern California. This weekend we did, and we're all pretty excited about it.

So today we have a diptych of Saddleback, a pair of peaks in the Santa Ana Mountains that dominates most of Orange County (Modjeska peak is on the left, Santiago peak on the right). And look! Snow! This is as much snow as I've ever seen on Saddleback, though that might be due to faulty memory.

But it faded fast. I took these pictures around noon, and by 3 o'clock there wasn't much left.

    This is like when global warming causes a huge chunk of a glacier to break off and float to where ice had not previously been and a penguin sees it and shouts, 'Look at all that ice! Where's your global warming now, liberals??!!'

    A friend of mine who lives in Arrowhead posted photos. As of yesterday they had gotten about 6 feet! It's time for you to take a trip up to Mt. Baldy.

    I'm so jealous, we've gotten only a trace of snow all winter long - our normal average seasonal snowfall is about 15 inches. Time to get seeds started for spring plantings hahaha.
