After the rains, the East Fork of the San Gabriel River actually looked like a river 

Mt Wilson is the location of most radio and television towers supplying Los Angeles. 

The mountain was above the clouds... 

Last week, after 4 inches of rain, Mt Wilson got several inches of ice, snow, and slush. It coated the trees and the towers. Luckily i did not remain here for long.. as the sun hit the metal towers, the ice started falling off.

This year, Mammoth has broken its all-time snowfall record with over 53 FEET of snow recorded this year and more on the way. It isnt still 53 feet deep, since it compacts over time, but the standing snowpack is well over 25' in this picture. As for LA... on Mt Wilson today there was 3 inches of snow with more falling as i was there... anywhere north of Ventura is at above 'average' rainfall for the year, and LA is within a couple of inches of average. The next few storms in the forecast may erase the small gap. 

Where is everyone?

rain makes the hills green... 

More ominous clouds 

We drove through this on the way home on the 5... looks a lot like last year up here. 

The Yolo Causeway (floodplain for the Sacramento River) was full of water.
