Orange County Snow in December
This posting is a little bit late, but still something that I meant to share. In mid-December, we had a colder-than-normal storm come through and drop snow in the nearby hills. It is not unusual for Saddleback Mountain to get snow a few times per winter. However, the nearby hills rarely do. This time, we had a lot of snow.
Before anyone comments about it, when I say "a lot of snow" you have to remember that I mean by local standards. I have been to Sweden and Finland in the snowy months and know what "a lot of snow" means by most people's standards.
Below are some pictures that I took from my office window of the show on Saddleback and the surrounding hills on Dec 18 and Dec 19. The camera phone doesn't catch it very well, but the snow is in the middle of the photos. Clicking on the photos to enlarge them helps. To borrow a quote from The Lion King: "Look closer!"
