What the heck is that white stuff??
So on my drive home from work today, I take Malibu canyon to get to the PCH and what do I encounter but a dusting of snow on the ground. People are pulled over to the side of the road, taking pictures, playing in the snow. Surreal scene for sure

One snowfall is weather, not climate.

And snow in freakin MEXICO? I saw a post on another forum where a Canadian living in Mexico built a snowman on the hood of his car while the rest of the locals ran around in total panic, it was quite an amusing read.
Snow? Mexico? Whoda thought we would ever see those two words in the same sentence?

Yeah, I just made it through before they closed it down last night. It was still closed this morning and the detour was super sketchy. It was sunny today so I'm hoping its open so I can avoid the freeway.

From Wikipedia, the unfailing oracle:
" Snow is common in the volcanoes in central Mexico and sometimes ocurrs in the northern states during the winter months , mostly in the Sierra Madre Occidental mountain chain as well as in other parts of the states of Chihuahua,Sonora,Coahuila and Nuevo Leon .However the average snowfall in these states is not high being similar to that of the southwest U.S.(except for the mountain areas where snowfall is higher).It is important to note that most of these places are more than 1000 mts above sea level. "

What part of the PCH were you on? Oh, I hope it doesnt head up north to the Bay Area! I prefer to see snow only when I want to, like in Tahoe
