A fast-moving snowstorm blanketed the San Gabriel Mountains with up to three feet of snow in higher elevations on Sunday. Mt. Baldy saw heavy snowfall above 5,000 feet, easing an otherwise mostly dry winter. Claremont received an inch of rain.

The weather is expected to remain mostly clear and cool for the rest of the week, with no precipitation in the forecast.

Just west of Mt. Baldy Village, the closed Glendora Ridge Road, left, is covered in snow, while the remainder of the canyon remains burn scarred and barren from the September 2024 Bridge Fire.
