I have been waiting for about five years to have snow low on Mount Diablo in California. So when this happened overnight, I was up early and went to the shot that I had planned. Took about five hours for the low clouds to clear, but this is what I got. Hope you like it.

I considered lugging my snowboard to the top on Monday morning but was too lazy. Some skier stole my idea though and a bunch of local news outlets ran his video. 😆

I think several skiers were up there, a friend of mine got some turns in and I heard about a few others. Apparently drifts were up to thigh deep.

Ahhh Bay Area, you never fail to disappoint. I'm surprised the thieves could get out of bed and get out into the cold.

Snow on Diablo isn't that rare. It usually happens every 3-5 years.

We also had snow on Mission peak in Fremont Ca. This mountain peak is northSouth of Diablo. I can see it out my front window.

Edit: fixed direction of peak.

South of Diablo. Diablo is in Contra Costa County, Mission Peak in southern Alameda County.
