Freak Desert Snowstorm
We had a bit of freak weather up here in the high desert of California a few weeks ago. One day is was in the 80's, and then the next - SNOW!
I jumped in the jeep and headed up to one of my favorite spots in Joshua Tree National park - Covington Flats. The air was nice and crisp and the lack of tracks told me I was the first one to explore the snow. I headed out in the middle of a blizzard, but it had pretty much quit snowing by the time I got there a 1/2 hour later. The weather service said we had received about 2 inches in 90 minutes.
A nice little desert snowstorm.
The snow started to melt off by the late afternoon and within a couple of days was even gone from the mountain tops. But it WAS beautiful while it lasted!
