It snowed a ton in NW MT last week, and kept snowing and got cold (daytime highs in single digits F) this weekend. I got today to dayhike, packraft, and look around.

How's winter looking for everyone?
Nov 21, 2010 at 9:30 pm #1666813We're getting a bunch of snow in the Sierras……..I can't wait to get out…….
Nov 21, 2010 at 10:07 pm #1666826Winter? What winter!? You'd laugh at what folks consider cold in my neck of the "woods". I'm looking forward to getting up higher very soon. I envy your immediate access to wilderness, but always thoroughly enjoy your posts.
Nov 21, 2010 at 10:08 pm #1666828First snowfall up here today.
Nov 21, 2010 at 10:09 pm #1666830I see on tuesday.
Nov 22, 2010 at 4:41 am #1666865First trail run below 32 degree's last night. Course it is going to be 60 on Tuesday.
Nov 22, 2010 at 11:50 am #1666954High of zero for my trip on wednesday. brrr
Nov 22, 2010 at 10:16 pm #1667171Headed up to Kings Canyon this weekend " I hope there's snow" that means I get to try out my new winter gear WHOOO HOOOOO!!!!! Any one else want to go?
Nov 23, 2010 at 12:25 pm #1667321We're getting there in Southern California.
Here's two shots from my run this morning in Los Padres N.F.:
A few inches have gathered on the north slopes already. It started crystal clear, but was beginning to snow on my way out.
Nov 23, 2010 at 12:51 pm #1667331We are at 83 right now. Now snow yet. ;)

Man, that is some prime running country!
Temperatures in the mid 20's right now, down to 15 tonight.
Quite a bit of snow falling up in the Cascades. Not long until we get to break out the snowshoes.Nov 23, 2010 at 4:37 pm #1667411Sorry for the thread hijack, but Craig, whereabouts in the Los Padres were you running?
I'd imagine somewhere back along the Frazier Park/Castaic area? I could see some snow out towards the deep backcountry behind Ventura yesterday but we don't have any in our immediate backountry here on my sides of the Los Padres.
Nov 23, 2010 at 4:40 pm #1667412been minimum -20C for 6 days now. with wind chill -35C usually. but there grooming the hundreds of KM XC tracks….
Nov 24, 2010 at 6:11 am #1667524I was up near Glacier NP yesterday afternoon for work and popped over to the foot of Lake McDonald to hide from the wind, take pictures, and marvel at what 20 mph winds and -5F ambient can do.

I parked at the edge of Lockwood Valley (deeper than Frazier Park) and ran the road to the Fish Bowls trailhead (Grade Valley)…then went in deeper on single track before turning around. Didn't see a single person.Nov 24, 2010 at 2:02 pm #1667662Nice Craig. I haven't been out that way in a while. Looking forward to a little bit of winter solitude in the Los Padres.
We had a little bit of frost last night… that's about as much winter as we get here on the coast!
But I'm off to Mammoth tomorrow for the family Thanksgiving dinner, so I'm sure I'll get a taste of what real winter is like.
Cheers, Nick
