It rained off and on all day, and now the mountains have those wisps of ‘smoke’ all between the ridges. Spectacular! I’ve never seen such a thing until I moved here; I don’t miss the Sierras and the big trees one bit! The closest thing I've seen would be the marine layer burning off on the west coast. It goes back out to sea down on the oceanfront, but creeps back up the hills and mountains a little further inland. Have you had a storm cloud "break" over the mountaintop like a wave yet? Those can be impressive, and a little scary if it's a violent thunderstorm.

Have seen both. Weather is AWESOME no matter where you live.

We moved from CA and I know that marine layer you speak of. It is beautiful. I’m more of a mountain person, but spent time in all the beauty CA had to offer. Death Valley was amazing too.

The ‘smoke’ here settles between the ridges, really emphasizing the multiple ridges, one after another. I never saw that in the Sierras. But having the oldest, tallest, and biggest (volume, my beloved Giant Sequoias) is something special.

I hope Trump can try to save the state...
