First Snow
Posted by g. gage on Saturday, October 11, 2008 10:15 PM

Hi all, today was the first snow of the season (just a dusting) on the N-C-O Div. in the Sierra Nevada Mountains at 5200'. Thought we'd share some Photos.

Have fun, Rob

4 days before start of Chain Season! YAY!

Those are pretty good shots. Particularly the SP units on the oncoming curve.

Great shots, Rob!

We got our first snow here this morning, two months to the day since I first found ice on my windshield this year.  That's nuts!

 

Cheers,

Matt Hutson
