It may be cold in Big Bear Lake, CA, but the views are worth it!

Driving over Standfield Cutoff this morning about 7:30 and about 10 degrees. The first photo is looking to the west across Big Bear Lake and the photo below is looking to the east across Baker Pond which is a wildlife marsh with no boating and the bald eagles like to call this area home in the winter.

 

Still digging out from this past week's snow storm (5 Feet)! Sunny skies and warmer temps. make it easier to get around. Plenty of visitors this weekend. I am sure the ski resorts, restaurants and rental shops are happy for the windfall.
