It’s a damn good day to take pictures in the Coachella Valley

The storm that hit the Coachella Valley on Monday and Tuesday has moved on. It ended up being much more powerful than weather guessers thought it would be, leaving the desert with some nice precipitation and the mountains with plenty of snow. And that means it’s time to take those pictures, people!

Here are some of the best posted to Instagram so far…

During our morning desert hike, Nacho and I were wowed by the sun rising behind the snow-dusted San Jacinto mountains ❄️????☀️

When the temperatures are in the 60’s in the desert, it’s snowing in the mountains that surround us. #theressnowinthemtharhills
