Julian Neighborhood News Santa Ysabel Aerial Views of Julian Author By William Howell Publish Date March 22, 2012 On Tuesday, March 20, at noon, I flew over Julian and from 6000 feet took this photo of downtown with the recent snow clearly evident. It's not often that one sees snow on the desert mountains east of Julian. This view shows downtown Julian in the lower left and the mountains all the way back to Borrego covered in snow. Sponsored Sponsored It's not often one sees snow on the mountains this low and close to Dudley's and downtown Santa Ysabel, either. This photo was taken from 6500 feet .
