As you well know by now, it's been raining all week. But rain isn't the only weather event taking Los Angeles by storm -- it's also snowing! In the mountains! At altitudes with which most of us will probably not interact at all! (Except, naturally, the winter sport enthusiasts. You are seen.)
According to the National Weather Service, mountains and high travel corridors could see snowfall of one to two feet at 7,000 feet elevation, falling to 2,500 feet late Tuesday and 2,000 feet Tuesday night.
And now, to incite your cold weather lust and make you wish that you didn't have stupid work getting in the way of what should be your all-day-every-day outdoor activities, here are some photos of the snow (...the snow, that you're not in).

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
