Bring a jacket.....



...WINTER STORM WATCH IN EFFECT FROM TUESDAY EVENING THROUGH
WEDNESDAY MORNING...

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN LAS VEGAS HAS ISSUED A WINTER
STORM WATCH...WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM TUESDAY EVENING THROUGH
WEDNESDAY MORNING FOR THE SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY DESERTS AND THE
MOUNTAINS OF FAR SOUTHERN NEVADA.


* TIMING...PRECIPITATION WILL TURN FROM RAIN TO SNOW TUESDAY
EVENING OVER THE SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY DESERTS THEN SNOW WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING. SNOW LEVELS WILL SLOWLY RISE
AND PRECIPITATION WILL TAPER OFF LATE WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH
AFTERNOON.

* SNOW LEVELS...SNOW LEVELS WILL BE LOWEST ACROSS WESTERN SAN
BERNARDINO COUNTY WHERE SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATIONS CAN BE
EXPECTED DOWN TO 2500 FEET. SNOW LEVELS OVER EASTERN SAN
BERNARDINO COUNTY AND FAR SOUTHERN NEVADA WILL BE BETWEEN 3500
AND 4000 FEET TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING.

* TOTAL SNOW ACCUMULATIONS...ACCUMULATIONS OF 4 TO 8 INCHES ARE
POSSIBLE IN THE DESERTS ABOVE 2500 FEET WITH 6 TO 12 INCHES IN
THE HIGHER TERRAIN ABOVE 4000 FEET.

* WINDS...SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST WINDS OF 10 TO 20 MPH CAN BE EXPECTED
TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING.

* IMPACTS...HEAVY SNOW IN THE DESERTS WILL CREATE TRAVEL CONCERNS
ALONG I-15 AND SOME SECTIONS OF I-40 IN SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY.
SEVERAL INCHES OF SNOW COULD MAKE TRAVEL VERY DIFFICULT ON I-15
IN THE HIGHER TERRAIN SUCH AS MOUNTAIN PASS NEAR THE NEVADA
BORDER LATE TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY MORNING. TRAVEL WILL
ALSO BE DIFFICULT ON SECONDARY ROADS ABOVE 4000 FEET IN THE
SOUTHERN NEVADA MOUNTAINS.



Looks like we'll be going out through Yucca Valley

It was a little sloppy, but not bad....didn't even need 4wd. Little on the chilly side though...about 40* with a good wind.

Watched a few cars climb the waterfall @ backdoor.
