Mt. Whitney Portal Store & Hostel Forums General Mt. Whitney Portal Store Message Board Snow and Rain!

Well for those not in the area, maybe this will help you plan your trip. It rained in Big Pine (4000') most of the night - and as the low clouds part this morning, and I look up at the Palisades, the snow level looks to be down to approximately 5,500 ft. I'm sure it won't last long, but the system really left a lot more than I thought it would.

thank you for the update - hope this is the first of many for the season

Anyone get any pics of the backyard this morning?? Would love to see the snow!

Olancha is covered with clouds on the ole man's forehead - cloud
cover is about down to 10k feet - maybe later if it pulls up

Here are two shots I just took:

The White Mtns from Bishop


Bishop Creek area from downtown Bishop

Sweet! Thanks, Kurt for grabbing those before heading out of town. Safe journeys!

you can also go to the Mammoth Mt website and look at the live cams

I live in Visalia, on the west side just below Sequoia. As I type this, it is raining outside. Not just a light sprinkle, either. There will definitely be something up there by morning. It is unusually early in the fall for something like this.
