The Mountains Turn White

January 26, 2010

This past weekend, after the deluge of rain, sleet, slush and snow, our mountains were spectacularly beautiful. The San Gabriels to the West, the San Bernardinos to the North, the San Gorgonios to the East and the San Jacintos to the South. We were completely surrounded with white mountains !. Our air was clear and crisp. The sun was shining brightly and we breathed a sigh of relief that Southern California had weathered a massive storm front without major flooding or mud slide damage.

The week of rain will certainly help alleviate our drought conditions. There was some discussion of an "El Nino" winter bringing even more wet days. In the meantime we shall enjoy the natural beauty that surrounds our Inland Empire.
