Heavy Snow in Riverside County Mountains, California

Snow levels down to as low as 3500 feet, combined with a long-duration atmospheric river event, allowed for several feet of accumulating snow to occur at various locations in the Riverside County Mountains. Some notable snow totals include: 24 inches at Mt San Jacinto Long Valley (8400' in elevation) and 19 inches at Pine Cove (6000').

An atmospheric river took aim at Southern California for several days starting early on February 4th, with impacts lasting through February 9th. Over a foot of rain fell in some locations, while some areas in the mountains received several feet of accumulating snow, depending on elevation.
