Bonnie;

I envisioned 1/4 inch of snow on the ground at Petaluma. The Bay Area comes to a complete hault due to massive amounts of ice and snow! :) Well, they must of had more. "Deep" is just a bit subjective. One day in 1962 the guy on the radio was screaming over and over, "It is snowing in San Francisco"! I ran outside - no snow. It turned out it was snowing on Mount San Bruno, in Daly City! :) This time there was 6-8" here and there - not a solid mass through out the Bay Area. We saw none in Sunnyvale but Los Gatos had 2" on the ground. North Bay seems to have had the most.

Would you believe - 32 of 35 San Francisco schools had no heat yesterday and held classes on one of the coldest days on record! "The City that knows how"? Sure has changed for this fourth generation San Franciscan!

>Wow, sounds nasty. < g > I wonder how "deep" the snow was. Snow at sea level is quite unusual. I lived in the North Bay (Napa) for 6 years and I remember once a few years ago how excited everyone got cuz there was a little snow up in the hills (snow level was probably at about 1000ft) ... but I think that they said it hadn't snowed in the City itself since the early 1900's or something like that. Figures ... as soon as I move away, you all get a little excitement!! < g >

>>There may be more on the way if the storm that dumped snow on the San Francisco Bay Area Monday hits you. What a cold one at that! Hiway 9 from Santa Cruz to San Jose was closed (a good beach route) and Hiway 101 at Petaluma was closed "due to deep snow". We had snow at sea level in some places. It has been below freezing in many areas around here.
