Signs of Winter??

I titled this "Signs of Winter" with question marks.

I suppose it is because I just don't think of snow as a typical winter sign in the desert.

It dropped well below freezing here last night and the withered hibiscus shrub behind our rig evidently didn't like it.

Around us there is a slight dusting of snow on the mountain peaks and up in Yucca Valley, north of and at a higher elevation than Desert Hot Springs, there was snow on roofs and evidence of the white stuff at the side of the road.

Let's hope these signs disappear quickly!!
