On Wednesday at 9:53 p.m. the NWS San Diego CA issued an updated winter weather advisory valid for Thursday between 6 a.m. and 11 p.m. for San Diego County Mountains.

Rain-starved San Diego County will get hit by a cold and blustery late winter storm Wednesday night that could drop half an inch of rain at the coast and more than twice that in the mountains by the time it clears off to the east on Friday, the National Weather Service says.

With a winter storm bringing snow to San Diego's mountains, many San Diegans took the opportunity to see and enjoy the fresh powder.

While a cold, winter storm drenched most of San Diego County on Thursday, the mountain ranges were getting a fresh dusting of white snow. The National Weather Service was receiving reports of an inch-and-a-half of snow in Julian and less than an inch of wet snow on Volcan Mountain.
