What the Actual Fuck?

It's late June, right? Less than a week to my birthday? Summertime in California, meaning sun, beaches, and tall cool drinks, right?

I laugh.

It's April showers, damnit!

A winter style cold front out of the Gulf of Alaska is hitting the entire Bay Area today. Lots of rain, some thunder. Best part? It's going to drop fresh snow on the Sierra Nevadas just in time for the July 4th weekend. Most of the ski resorts are still open! Many of them still have 40 feet of snow, and they're getting more!

Global climate change is real.

I'll trade you the cold winter storm for the 99 to 107 degree temps we're supposed to have through the 4th down here in the Central Valley. ;)

Great for the Tahoe economy and our watershed; slightly less good for Lisa trying to drive to the Bay Area from Fernley today.

This morning it was raining so hard that the right lane on CA-92 heading toward the San Mateo Bridge toll plaza was partially flooded, something I found out when I hit some of the spots and started to skid slightly. Fortunately, I'd already slowed down and didn't lose control, but I don't like driving in those conditions, no sir.

Need I remind you about Mark Twain's famous quote about summer in San Francisco?
