This one could be a good one. I would expect up around a half a foot, but it could setup as a nice backslider, in which case totals very well could be doubled across the Big Bear Valley... Very cold system too, snow levels could dip as low as 1,000-2,000 feet Wednesday night! Get Ready! FOLLOW @BENSWEATHER NOW ON TWITTER!

Yeah doesn't look quite as impressive as it did yesterday, but a few inches or more is still not out of the question. Keep in mind it's due north of us, so it has to cross us as it digs south, and the potential for wrap around moisture to enhance snowfall totals looks good still. It's not cutting offshore by any means. FOLLOW @BENSWEATHER NOW ON TWITTER!
Happy 35th anniversary to my wonderful wife Kimberly. It seems like only yesterday. Alas, three beautiful daughters, three perky grandkids, what more could a guy ask for.
Thanks ATL, but I'm not really the backpacking type - too heavy of a pack. Several years ago I hiked Mt. Whitney in a day. About a month later, I backpacked up to Dollar Lake & then went to the top of Gorgonio the next day. That overnight trip seemed more difficult to me than the day hike on Whitney.
nice sunny.. i have grand nieces and the are a joy such sweet manners and just adorable to be around. they are 4 year old twins one takes after dad and the other takes after their mother
