With the weather turrning cold on Monday, the snow level in the San Gabriel Mountains dropped near 4,000 feet just south of Mt. Baldy Village. The ski lifts report over four feet of new snow at the top of the notch and higher. Even with a real warm-up in our future, Mt. Baldy will have most lifts open by Tuesday. By Wednesday, we will see sunny skies and 60s in Claremont, with lows in the 40s. State Highway Patrol was stopping cars for chains or 4-wheel drive about one mile south if the village. We have not had this much rain and snow in over five years, so enjoy while it lasts! COURIER photo/Peter Weinberger
