We didn't get the two-to-three-inches of snow on the ground as predicted. From our vantage point it looks like snow stayed above 5000' overnight. Peaks further north, on the other hand, received more snow across the elevation ranges.
Kevin, I and the dogs took a few minutes in the early afternoon to walk around Ash Canyon Road, where snow seemed to pile up to the six-to-eight inches as we walked a little uphill. The trail itself was slushy; not ideal for my new EMU boots. The higher peaks were shrouded in fog; more light snow was coming.
The dogs loved the snow. Sara made dog angels, Sadie bit into the snow and Sammy left a pile in it. Everyone had fun.
There was even water in both Carr and Ash Creeks.
We had to drive around in a few canyons before we could find an isolated spot, as everyone was out in the snow, making snowboys, hunting, or ATVing in it. The Mule Mountains 20 miles to our East were also covered to what looks like the 4500' level. the wide valley in the middle, though, was snow-free.
