Quote: The Wednesday system has enough punch and cold air, to give the mountains their first real snow of the season. Snow levels look to potentially drop to 7,000 feet in Inyo and Mono County. Cool! And thanks, too, for getting the Willi Webcam back online.

But with snow, the going will definitely be slower and more strenuous. You will just have to wait and see how much snow actually sticks.
