Burr - Wacky Winter Weather Hits Highland

It's been a wacky winter weather week in Highland. On Monday and Tuesday we had record breaking heat with high January temperatures in the mid-80's. However, just like the old New England saying, "if you don't like the weather, wait a minute" this morning (Friday) the weather took a surprise turn.

In past years snow was able to fall to just below the 2,000 foot level, but never down to the valley floor. Imagine our surprise upon waking this morning to find SNOW at our house! OK, so it's not enough to shovel, but hey it is snow in Southern California. Here are some pictures.









The first image was taken at about 6:30 am while it was still rather dark outside, the camera's flash caught snowflakes falling. The middle image was taken about 30 minutes later. The final image is of our patio (note the snow is not sticking to the warmer concrete).
