A co-foodie in Victoria, BC just told me they are snowed in.

As you know it does not ever snow at sea level in western
north America... or very rarely. The same is forecast to happen
to San Francisco on Friday.

Mount Tam (near Mill Valley) was snow-covered a couple of days ago even
if it is not very high!

I saw some snow on Mt. Tam on Sunday. Would not say it was "snow
covered" at that point, maybe you observed it a day or so later.

Nothing new. Mt Tam and Mt Diablo often get snow.

Are you sayign it's not rare to have sea-level snowfalls
in western North America?

This is only true if you go to considerable northern latitudes...

Why does everyone insist on a cite? :-)

As of last night, the "Weather Underground Classic" site listed
snow for Friday and Saturday as the forecast. Not just "snow possible",
but "snow forecast".

I have not re-checked today.

Rarely. LOL That's what two friends who lived in Victoria told me. I
told them I was going to go out some time in February to see if it was
true. One year for Christmas my wife gave me plane tickets to Vancouver
to visit my friends. It was the trip from hell.

I left home at 4 am in order to make it to Toronto in time to catch a
&:45 flight. I ran into heavy traffic on the way to the airport but we
made it in time. The plane never left until after noon.

We made it to |Vancouver but got stuck in a holding pattern for an hour
while they cleared snow at the airport.... where it never snows. We
finally landed and I made my way to the shuttle bus to the hotel from
which I could catch a bus to Victoria. I got there just in time to see
the shuttle bus leaving so I had to wait for the next one. I caught
the next shuttle and we were approaching the hotel just as the bus for
Victoria left.

I had to wait for the next Victoria bus. I was worried that we were
going to miss the ferry because the roads were bad but we pulled up to
the ferry terminal wit a couple minutes to spare. We didn't make it. The
ferry had to pull out early because, as it was explained, the previous
ferry had turned back due to a medical emergency on board. So.... had
to wait for the next ferry, not hte own that had been turned back.


I finally got to Victoria at 9:30, their time. I should have been their
by noon. There was about 6 inches of snow and traffic wasn't moving
very well. It was gone the next day.

It is best to go back to the source, not a weather blog. If you follow
many weather sites, you will know that the NOAA warning that the WP
reference was from very early in the day - 6am.

I recommend Wundergound until NOAA releases an update. Or do a search
on SF advisories. You will not find snow for SF proper. North Bay
mountains will get lots of fun, though.

The Neely's are one of your favorites? Paula Deen uses too much sugar
for me, but they are too saccharine and overly lovey dovey for my
taste.

I do remember snow on Twin Peaks and hard frost on the Marina Green the
same day.
