With areas of Claremont getting up to three inches of rain from the storm system that blew through Monday and Tuesday, it was a great opportunity for significant snow in the San Gabriel mountains. Although several inches did fall, nicely blanketing the mountains with a coat of white, this system was too warm for any substantial snow. The good news is the Mt. Baldy ski lifts are open for business, with most runs open (top of photo). If you’re ready to take the family up to play in the snow, get up there quickly before much of it melts. High pressure will take over the through the weekend, increasing daytime temperatures to the 70s. COURIER photo/Peter Weinberger
