These are definitely some very bizarre patterns. I did a night hike
on Friday from China Camp to Pine Valley in Los Padres National
Forest. It snowed on us between 4000 and 4700 feet! Below 4000 it
was constant rain and strong wind. Most of the people in the group
were somewhat wet and had frozen hands by the time we were setting up
our tents around 11:00 p.m. Thank God for Goretex and fleece. Would
have eaten it without it, I think.

The only thing scarier than head high swell at Third is hiking in the dark on a rocky trail that 12 inches wide with a steep drop on the other side, in 30+ mph winds and snow. Yikes...wish I had been windsurfing instead!
