Are we getting any snow up in the mountains by Baldy and Telegraph with this storm?
I can't wait to get out the crampons and ice axe  Laughing

Nate,

It will probably give Harwood and up a dusting, but it wouldn't require crampons. Just nice and cold, with a heavy frost, if you will. Much like September of a few years ago, when we got snow on the 23-24th, and it melted in hours on the 24th.

I really hope I'm wrong, though. Laughing

Taco, you are right it was the 23 of September 2007, it rained/snowed all night Saturday night the night of the 22nd of September and the weather dipped 30 degrees during the night and that caused it to snow in September, I remember because I got up at 2 AM and Lucy and I started up the Ski Hut Trail at 3:15 AM just as the wind died down and the snow/rain stopped, this is a picture of the summit at 7:05 AM that Sunday morning as we approached the summit, no one came up for another 2 hours, the first people we saw were when we got back to the Ski Hut around 9:15, we had virgin snow and the summit all to ourselves.

Last fifty to 100 feet before the summit

Did you see me? I was camped out during the storm in the Bowl, near Piton Rock. Came up Baldy Bowl route in the morning.

I might have but I didn't know you then so I was more than likely boogieing by fast, as 2007 is when I stopped doing all the PCT sections and started getting to know other trails and people doing the local mountains.

What time did you get up the bowl that day?

Yep. Might've deleted it.

My buddy is sick, so we didn't go up today. Instead, I accidentally ruined my laptop, watched my dogs eat each other's feces, and attempted to remove a dead heater from my car. Awesome.
