Like it or not, a winter storm came to Sierra County in February of 2021. Snow storms are not unheard of here, just unusual at the lower elevations (in Truth or Consequences for instance). That’s why snowbirds like us.

Sierra County’s wilderness areas are more prone to blanketing. Thanks to Skip “The Barber“ Bennett for these beautiful photos, all shot near Kingston, of the Black Range Mountains after the big snow of Valentine’s Day 2021.
