but the temperatures have been dipping into the 20's with some dustings in the hills.



Needles to say, I've been busy with "no heat" calls.  It's good because the Summer was slow.

    location?

    Where are you in CA? I am from Antioch, just east of Oakland. (East Bay Area) 29* tonight there. It only snowed twice growing up there and when it got to freezing, there were warnings on all the news about covering hose bibs and disconnecting hoses. Down to 4* here in SLC tonight. LOTS of snow today...

    We're at about 50 degrees

    with very heavy rain and high winds. I'm going to hide under the bed until this passes. 
    Retired and loving it.

    Does usually snow here...

    but not like this.  got 15 inches since midnight..  Already had 4 inches at that point.  broke the support on my shovel. Forecast calls for temps below zero and gusts to 35 MPH.  No plows have come threw yet.  Have food and water, see you in the spring.

    It just goes to show

    that it can always be worse.........or better for that matter.



    Timco: I'm in Berkeley and I didn't know there were any Bay Area Wallies out there.  Our temperatures are about 10° warmer than yours right now.

    location?

    At first I thought the picture was taken from Grizzly peak and looking at the Richmond-San Rafael bridge. But isn't that Mt. Diablo in the back? I remember seeing two inches of snow on a Pacific Coast Highway street sign in Malibu.

    East or West?

    If you were in Berkeley looking at Mt. Tam you would be looking west. I thought the high part of the bridge was on the Richmond side to deal with the tankers. Of course that's assuming that is that bridge!  

    Bay area stuff - couldn't resist. Oh, not B.C. Up here in AK

    Those white buildings

    in front of the bridge are San Quentin prison in Marin County, across the bridge from Richmond.

    Mt. Diablo

    My dad used to take us up to the top of Mt Diablo to see snow when we were kids. It only snowed twice ever growing up and once was when  was just 5 or so and my mom would not let us play in it so we would not get sick. We just got 4 inches or so total here...How is Berzerkly these days? Sacratomato? Anyone remember Dr. Donald D Rose on KFRC?
