My wife (a native Californian from San Francisco) says the snow is sooooo pretty.
Yep, I say, "when it is somewhere else..."
We actually had a dusting of snow up in the hills here above San Jose, this year. Made the front page of the local Newspaper. The wife clipped the page and sent it off to the Colorado branch people claiming it to be the "Big San Jose blizzard of '08".
Had the Colorado branch ROTFL with quips such as, "Look, you can still see rocks and green plants poking out of the snow cover!" "Is that grass?"
It was an opportune picture. 'Twas all gone by about 10 am. So, I didn't even get to take the bike up into the hills for in person pictures of the hardship we endure. Maybe in the next decade...
Cheers,
