my best friend from junior high/high school and i were just talking about how every february when we were growing up during junior high (75 and 76) it would snow in castro valley (where we lived) and we'd have snowball fights. i'm sure those were the same years you were thinking of tabby.

i also remember about 86 or so going up to mt. diablo and filling up a toyota truck's bed with snow and bringing it down to alamo and having a snowball fight. i even have pics of the mountain on my wall at home, and a t-shirt for mt. diablo that says "no lifts, no lines, but it's close!

LOL, Landi, I'm thinking you may be right about the magic 8 ball! It sprinkled just a bit ago, not long or hard enough to even get the ground wet, but it sure is cold and windy out there.

We were snow talking not too long ago. Remember that time in '80 or '81 that it snowed? Oh and what about in '86? No one has to ask what time in those years we're talking about cuz that's all there was, lol! Those were the only two times when I was in school from k-12 that it snowed, not much more than a 1/4-1/2 an inch and school was closed.

Sis was talking to my bils aunt on the phone earlier. The aunt lives right outside Morro Bay and said that it was snowing there. While sis was telling me about it it actually took a few minutes to sink in! Snow in Morro Bay??? I know it gets mighty cold up that way in the winter but dang. Asked when the last time they had snow was, bils aunt said it's been around 30 years.

I'm still hearing conflicting reports about what tomorrow and Saturday will be like, though now pretty much all the weather people are saying snow. I keep hearing differences in the snow levels, from 1,500 ft (heard that on the radio this morning) to 2,500 ft (news report earlier.) All I know is it's freezing cold here and very windy. Sky looks pretty nasty too, but we're not expecting rain or snow til tomorrow sometimes.

dh is on his way to south house from north house. he had to clear the 16 inches of remaining snow to get the car out and they are expecting another foot or so over the next 36 hours. we are at 3,900 feet there and they are predicting snow at UNDER 1000 feet. they should see some in redding which is 40 miles west of our north house. wow!

p.s. when dh finds out he has to repair a sprinkler head (which i already did but it seems a kid on their way to the junior high broke it again), paint our master bedroom, work on the hardwood floor (it's amazing that 'sick-dog snot' will totally take the finish off a floor), mow the lawn, refinish the deck, and help me get the house in general 'ready to see' order for saturday's potential buyers... will he hightail it back up north?

Have ya'll seen the weather maps of California today? The whole state is green (rain,) light greenish (rain/snow,) and white for complete snow.

My bil called sis earlier to tell her they were on their way home. Got half way to work and got turned back for snow. He said they stopped in Rosmond (half way between here and where Darren works) and had a snowball fight, lol. I was looking at the window and staring at clear blue skies. Course soon as I walked outside I saw the only clear blue patch was pretty much over our heads, the clouds were coming over all of the mountains.

LOL Dfennessey, thats just not right! I want warm temps, lol.

Those pics were just a few minutes ago. It snows heavy, then almost stops, then gets heavy again. Rained for a few minutes, then back to snow and hail. If it keeps up like this I'm going to pick the kids up before much longer. I've driven in the snow exactly one time, so I'm not going to wait for it to get bad enough for them to close school.

We went to dinner in Palmdale tonight and as we were sitting there it started snowing. Was blowing sideways and within about 10 minutes or so it'd started to stick. It continued for about an hour and then stopped.

We're still under a severe weather advisory, but a few minutes ago when I let the dog out back, the sky was clear. Watched the weather channel earlier and they showed clouds coming in later tonight and more snow overnight.

And it was about 50 degrees here, War. We haven't seen snow in ages. What is wrong with this picture?

I'm snowed-in, and can't get to work today.

Also (sorry, smoker here) can't get to the store and am down to 5 cigaretts.

AND I can't find my gawl-durn digital camera so I can take pics and post. It is Sooooooo beautiful.

It is supposed to snow till about noon, then start again at 5. I need to get down the hill, somehow, this afternoon so I can make it to work tomorrow.

War, at one point last night, I thought we would get snow my way, it was down to 40. We did get lots of hail though.

On a side note, about 2 weeks ago a friend of mine offered me two free lift tickets to a ski resort in Big Bear. No charge, free, because she said this year's snow season was a bust. I'm such a cheapy I'll take anything free. With this storm, Big Bear and all the resorts up there have tons of snow for the next few weeks! I won't be using the tickets, but I'm giving them to my son and his girlfriend when they come down next weekend for her Spring Break. They are absolutely besides themselves, being snowboarders and all. I should tell you all that I did offer them back to my friend, but she can't go up to Big Bear anytime soon, so that's why I offered them to my son and his gf. Yay!

Well, folks, here is the story for the Phoenix Metropolitan Area, otherwise known as the Valley of the Sun. ehehe

The wind was blowing pretty fierce all day Friday and I was watching the weather reports for California and most all the Western States. This storm was coming down from Alaska and covering the Pacific Coast all the way down to LA. You saw the report up thread about snow above Malibu. It was so far inland that it covered Idaho, Utah, Arizona, most of New Mexico and Colorado, even some of Wyoming. That is a big mass.

We were being told that the rain would come very early Saturday morning and go into Sunday morning. Well, it started right on time, 2:30 AM. And it rained and rained all day and into the night. It stopped at about 10 or 11 PM Saturday night. Today it is cold but sunny. I only got about .70" of rain, but Queen Creek, to the south of me, got nearly 4". That is about as much as we get all year sometimes.

Here is the thing. The snow started in Flagstaff on Friday and is still snowing up there. Yesterday, while I was getting rain(I live in Mesa, a southern suburb of Phoenix), it was snowing in the northern parts of the city and northern Scottsdale. The amazing thing is the snow is still on the ground! They actually got a good 3" of the stuff. We might get a dusting of snow every few years up there but it is usually gone in about 5 hours.

How low did the snow level get? Well, I went out on the street this afternoon and was surprised to see snow half way down the Superstitions. That is a small mountain just to the east of the valley. Levels got down to approximately 2200 feet! Phoenix hasn't seen this much snow in probably 50 years. I have lived here 32 years and I have only seen a bare dusting twice in all that time.
