Snow on Washburn

Yesterday we drove from Canyon across Dunraven Pass back to Mammoth. In Canyon it was 52 degrees. It dropped steadily as we rose up Dunraven Pass to 40 degrees and finally warmed up to a whopping 55 degrees in Mammoth. On the heights of Mt Washburn, I looked up and saw a fine dusting of snow. Last night it froze at 7,000 feet. It might freeze in Mammoth tonight! Welcome, fall.

Snow and Crocuses

The crocuses have been coming up and the snow has been falling down. I guess our new mantra should be "April snow showers hopefully bring May flowers." I've mostly been chanting,"This is good for the water table, water table, water table!"

First Snow

It snowed today and stuck on the ground a bit! The first snow this fall. Tomorrow we're supposed to get upwards of a foot. And it's supposed to be 13 degrees by Sunday! Here comes winter!
