All true.
I looked at the 7-day forecast for Mt. Whitney, and it says either "snow", "heavy snow" or "snow likely" every day for the entire week.

Ditto for rain for SoCal.

Pretty much non-stop all this week and potentially through the coming weekend.

If future generations are to remember us with gratitude rather than contempt, we must leave them more than the miracle of technology. We must leave them a glimpse of the world as it was in the beginning, not just after we got through with it.
