San Pedro Mártir Records 30 Centimeters of Snow (EL MEXICANO, 12/29/12 by LUCIA GÓMEZ SÁNCHEZ)
Tijuana, BC - The Sierra de San Pedro Mártir National Park in Ensenada recorded temperatures of minus 13 degrees centigrade and offers a winter scene with 30 inches of accumulated snow. The natural park offers a winter spectacle and has cabins open to the public, but it is possible it will close if they continue to have descending temperatures as access to visitors will need to be prohibited in the next few days.
The cabin service has been a success since a few months ago and all are rented each weekend, said Ephraim Nieblas Ortiz, Secretary of Environmental Protection. She recalled that in the reserve interior there are four available cabins; two for up to 10 guests and two more for up to six guests. Each are equipped with hot water, a stove, beds and everything you need for a great stay. http://www.el-mexicano.com.mx/informacion/noticias/1/3/estatal/2012/12/28/639439/registra-san-pedro-martir-30-centimetros-de-nieve.aspx

Today, showers are predicted and approximately 20 centimeters of snow. The National Water Commission (Conagua) reported a minimum temperature of six degrees below zero overnight Saturday in Sonora, where the arrival of a cold front is expected in the next few hours. The Agency reported that the minimum temperatures will be below zero degrees in the North and East of the entity, while during the day; maximum temperatures won’t exceed 30 degrees.
