January 7, 2008 L.A. Skyline and snow-capped mountains

I work at LAX as weather observer once a month, and my shift this January was on a crystal-clear day following a storm which had dumped a good deal of snow on the San Gabriel and San Bernardino Mountains. These are all views from the control tower on this Monday morning. The Los Angeles skyscrapers are about 12 miles northeast of LAX. Mount Wilson, at 5710 feet elevation, is 30 miles distant and a little to the left of the skyscrapers in the view from LAX. The tall radio and TV towers on Mount Wilson are visible in some of the images.
