Missed the snow

I'm back from San Francisco without having to deal with much of this weeks interesting weather, especially the closures today of both sides of I-5 through the Grapevine. The Weather Underground Western U.S. Weather Blog was particularly helpful in determining what to expect with the cold front (really cold front) moving in.

I could have picked a better time, but it could also have been a lot worse (I slept through the worst of it) and I caught clear (if not warm) conditions through Big Sur today. More on that tomorrow.

The oddest event of the week was the closure of the campground used by the local cub scouts for snow camp up near Mt. Pinos. It was closed due to, uhh, snow.
