One More Storm

January 25, 2010

In case you didn’t get a chance to enjoy our snow-covered mountain views this weekend, it looks like one last storm is due to move into the L.A. area tomorrow. The storm may start as early as tonight, and linger through Wednesday morning. The mountains around Mount Baldy are predicting 9 to 16 inches of [...]

Yes, It Does Snow Here

December 8, 2009

I wasn’t able to get to somewhere in my office building to take pictures (and they wouldn’t have come out good anyway, as all I had was my iPhone), but there was definitely a small layer of snow visible in the San Gabriels just behind the Hollywood Sign this morning. Hopefully, some of you got [...]

Winter Weather Advisory

February 13, 2009

I just got a bulletin from the Angeles National Forest, warning weekend travelers of some pretty intense-sounding winter storm conditions. Some areas in the High San Gabriels currently have snowpack of more than 40 inches, with even some lower elevations having more than a foot of the white stuff — and obviously, more predicted for [...]

Rain and Snow

February 10, 2009

The LAist managed to snag a shot of low-elevation snow from yesterday’s storm, which had snow levels dropping to about 3,500 feet and had me donning a winter hat after walking home from work today. And that may not be all. The LA Times says another winter storm is headed for the LA Mountains later [...]

Angelenos Love Their Snow

December 22, 2008

The LA Times has a short story about people in LA getting all psyched up about the snow, and driving a short distance to the Angeles National Forest for sledding, snowball fights, and — in what is apparently an LA Tradition I didn’t know about — making snowmen on their cars and then driving back [...]

Winter Photo-Hiking

December 19, 2008

Winter offers us L.A. hikers some amazing opportunities — in the right conditions and with a short drive, we can leave our little desert city and go have a snowball fight in the mountains. Additionally, we have the chance to take in some outstanding views. Angelenos know that after a good rain here, the air [...]

Snow Angels

December 16, 2008

The Angeles National Forest is currently being blanketed with a healthy layer of snow, and with some more snow scheduled to hit for the next few days, it might be a good time to head up the Angeles Crest Highway for a few snow angels and snowball fights. LAist has posted a short interview with [...]

Winter’s Coming

December 11, 2008

… and we’re not talking about the “oh, it gets dark a little bit colder and Starbucks has new coffees” winter — we’re talking about a full fledged ice and snow, gusty wind affair. The LA Times reports on a National Weather Service prediction of a massive arctic air mass moving into the LA area [...]

Still Snow Up There

February 18, 2008

This morning, I made an attempt to hike Devil’s Canyon, deep in the Angeles National Forest. I figured since it was a north-south canyon, it would have a healthy amount of sunshine and less snow than the surrounding peaks. Turned out I was wrong. About an eighth of a mile into the route, I ran [...]
