First Local Snow of 2009

3 October 09: A somewhat surprising Saturday with a decent first snowfall in the local mountains. I headed up Iron Mountain Road with a hope of getting to Carson Pass for some pictures of Round Top with snow.

It wasn't to be. I didn't even get to Leek Springs before the road was too slushy for me to feel comfortable in my little car with no snow tires.

I turned back, but stopped at a lower elevation to get a few pictures of the morning weather.
