Temperatures dipped below freezing above the 2,000 foot mark in the foothills of Crescenta Valley around 9 p.m. Saturday evening turning intermittent rain into snow flurries.

Although some braved the freezing temperatures, like Danny Ajemian, 15, and his cousin Phillip Shaverdian, 17, (above) most chose instead to check out the fluffy white stuff protected inside their heated automobile.

According to the National Weather Service, overnight showers are likely with a possible thunderstorm before 4 a.m., then a chance of showers and thunderstorms after 4 a.m. Some of the storms could produce small hail. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 42. South southwest wind around 5 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. On Sunday, residents can expect a 30% chance of rain before 10 a.m. then mostly sunny, with a high near 54. North northwest wind around 5 mph.

Foothill residents can expect to wake to snow-topped hillsides on Sunday morning.
