Pine Mountain Club, Frazier Park, CA (May 7, 2015 at 2:30 p.m.)—The forecast indicated a few light snowflakes and that was accurate. There was a 10 minute spotty scattering of tiny hailstones in the Mountain Communties, along with a tumble in temperature and some stiff breezes. That appears to have passed. Precipitation has evaporated, and was only a trace.
