Way off in the distance in this photo (about 40 miles), are the San Gabriel Mountains and the Angeles National Forest. Yesterday, and the night before, precipitation came to our area and was billed by the local weather reporters as the ‘first major storm’ of the season.
After the storm passed, it got quite windy. The wind caused a short power interruption here, inconveniently, right in the middle of the Green Bay Packers vs. Baltimore Ravens Monday Night Football game. The power was only out for a few tens of seconds, not really enough time to get the emergency flashlights turned on (we always keep one at each of our desks and on the table next to where we sit to watch TV. The game came back on after the DirecTV receiver re-acquired the signal. We watched the remainder of the game without any other power interruptions.

I was on my way down Atlantic Ave. here in Long Beach this afternoon, and the snow on the mountains really jumped out against the bright blue sky.
Quite pretty!
We had snow on Mauna Kea.
That’s where I like it. Not in my driveway! 🙂
I’m with Kini – snow on the mountains is very pretty. Snow in the driveway – not so much . . .
