[marmot]

Did anyone else get a ridiculous amount of snow in SoCal?

Where I live, i got 2.5 feet of snow (30 inches)! a very unusual occurance. I live at 4100 feet in phelan, CA and we've never gotten this much before!!

input!

I'm not too far from you outside of Hesperia. We got 18"+, the most in the 19 years I've lived up here. I dug out the 4x4 I went to check I-15 at the Cajon Pass to see about going down the hill the next morning. The CHP had the on-ramps closed and the pass didn't open till the next day. On the way home I "rescued" several vehicles that had slid off the road and got stuck including a 4x4 SUV and a big ass truck that tried to help them. I asked if he had 4-wheel drive and he said no but he had a big engine. I pulled both out with my small 4 cylinder Toyota truck. Got home and built an igloo in the yard (in the Mojave Desert) the next day...and it is still there today but melting fast in the rain...cool
