Mt. Whitney Portal Store & Hostel Forums General Mt. Whitney Portal Store Message Board arctic blast coming?

I posted this in the winter access forum but thought it might be worth repeating here:

Just a heads up. Should be interesting to see how this shapes up and what it means in terms of snow fall.

Nothing on Owens Peak yet.


Nothing on Olancha Peak yet.


Not a single snowflake on the Inyos.


And a very disappointing sight as the High Sierra came in to view this morning!

It was a little too cold to ride the motorcycle though.

"The storm and ensuing cold have been blamed for at least 10 deaths since the weekend. An avalanche in Colorado claimed the life of a Ski Patrol member, and exposure probably killed an 87-year-old man found outside his Montana nursing home."

color all of those white now! boy, did it snow, right down to the bottom. And more coming. whee!
