I'm a reasonable man, MacArthur..

We have snow in the Bay Area. Not down to the valley floor.. yet. But they're calling for more showers and the predicted snow level keeps dropping. This morning it was 2500 feet. By the time I was heading home, it was down to 1000 feet, and the hills to the east of Fremont were white.

For the record: the last time it snowed down to sea level here in the San Francisco Bay Area was February 1977. I was in 4th grade, and as I recall they gave up trying to teach us half-way through the day and let us loose to hurl ice balls at each other.

It didn't quite reach the valley floor, but I and [livejournal.com profile] cherylmorgan saw snowflakes falling in the parking lot of the Walgreen's at El Camino Real and Grant Road (CA-237) in Mountain View five years or so ago. The flakes were melting just before they reached the ground.
