Arnold, CA...A Pine Blossom after the storm. Was out cleaning up some downed branches and came across this pine blossom. Usually they are quite a bit farther away and up in the tree. Sadly this one was at ground level.

Hey Good People!! Bear Valley Breaks All Time December Snow Record with 161 Inches So Far!!
Posted by: thepinetree on 12/30/2021 07:43 AM
Bear Valley, CA...Hey Good People! We broke our all time December record for snowfall on Dec 29th at 8am with the new record being 161″. Mattly’s weather forecast for Thursday. An inside slider is poised over the Great Basin this morning and could enhance the ability to bring lite scattered snowfall to the area today. With a high of 25F and a SSE wind in the upper teens and gusting into the 20’s it looks to be a stellar day of riding out on the hill. Saturday and Sunday will be the same with continuing cold temps as the influence of the cold AK air finishes off with a warmer storm front expected to arrive Monday.
