ok Vaughn
how far is it from your place to that mountain? I didn't think SoCal got snow at all?
Maybe a half mile as the crow flies. I shot that pic with my 18-55mm zoom, and cropped it some, but it's not a long way off.
We get snow on the local mountains every year, and even once in a blue moon it gets cold enough to stick where I live. (I'm up in the foothills, though, at about 1300 feet above sea level. They don't see much if any snow in Hollywierd or Beverly Hills.)
It doesn't freeze often, but it still happens. This was taken in my back yard a few years ago...
And I see a view like this about two or three times a year in the mountains above us. This was taken about 1/2 mile from our house...
About 70 miles east of us is Big Bear, a local ski mountain. You can literally surf in the morning, play golf at lunch, and go skiing in the afternoon in SoCal.
