SoCal Something Like December Weatherrr

[2NAKLLR]

I got to say the San Gabriels have better dirt than most of OC. Rode GMR ->Monroe TT -> GMR -> Mystic trails and it was the top of the upper echelon of dirt conditions. As we rode up we saw GMR in the sun, but when we reached the gate, it was fogged/clouded in again and was so all the way back down. Just perfect. Even saw some b'ar tracks up pretty high.

Saw Tinker Juarez rollin' on the roadie when we got to the end of Mystic, where we parked.

Bring on Sunday:

Dirt in Wrightwood was fantastic today, absolutely fantastic.

fingers crossed.

Don't plan on anything but rain. I'm extremely impressed with Bear, they must have made a ton of snow, I went to MH today and it's pretty much all gone on the lower mountain.

Ryan, are you guys able to stay open any longer after the rains (short term of course)?

[Ryan]

Not quite sure what you mean, we closed Monday and wont be re-opening anytime within the next week.

Its been lightly raining/drizzling up here for several hours now.

^^^ same here rate of .08" an hour. Just enough to make putting up Christmas lights a nuisance...
2NA - Nice title; hope it brings some colder H20...

Cheaps what's the word on lower snow levels? Will they stay low as the front moves down?

[snowtrekker]

I've had light, misty rain since 1pm today, with temps in the lower 60's. From my experience, we need temps in the upper 50's here in Claremont to get snow on Baldy, and mid to lower 50's to get snow at resort levels. At least this light, steady rain helps the ground soak it up without too much runoff.

Sorry havent really been following that aspect. Satellite makes me think the bigger worry is that the front completely dies before it gets to LA and points south. Its not drizzling here anymore.

Yeah, I've been watching it's dying very quickly. Oh well!

I'd rather it died off quickly than rain on any snow that's left.

[SoCalWeatherExpert]

The front is near Ventura and it should make light showers for the LA/OC areas, washing out before San Diego and most of the Inland Empire. Snow levels are 7,000 feet ahead of the front but with the center of the front expect those to rise to 9,000 feet or even higher. Not a snow event.

Long Range suggests major snow-storms will make their way down to Southern California after the 16th-18th of this month.

It's that time of year again.
