Snow Report

We are getting snow storm alerts for tonight and tomorrow.They are
talking about 8-10". It is not supposed to get very cold, but it will be
windy. My biggest concern is the temperature. If it is too close to
0C/32F the snow can be wet and heavy, meaning too heavy to shovel and
too wet and slushy to use the snow blower. It is a piece of cake to run
the snow blower over light fluffy snow. Drifted snow tends to have had
its crystals shattered so it is denser and heavier. The slush stuff can
sometimes go through the blower once but doesn't discharge far, and on
the second pass it just clogs the chute and wears the belts.

You were talking about being in Vancouver and Portland. If you are
there, then San Francisco is down there, not down here.


I would never refer to Seattle as down here unless I was talking
specifically to somebody up there. because Seattle is not the
southern part of a state, country, or continent.

In any case there is no snow here, at least yet, although I could
have missed some during the night it does not seem cold enough.

It is snowing like mad here. It is the heaviest snow I have seen all
winter. I checked the weather radar and we are right in the middle of a
long patch of snow that is moving lengthwise over us, so it will keep up
for a while.

It might have been more enlightening if you had mentioned where was
"here" :-) My daughter tells me that snow is forecast tomorrow for Mill
Vally.

In the context of the discussion, Mill Valley is near San Francisco as
those previously responding do know, even if I mispelled "valley". It's
just below Mt. Tamalpais in Marin County.

I am in the middle of the Niagara Peninsular in southern Ontario, and it
has been pretty nasty year. I was out running some errands and cut
things short because the roads are so bad. We have had 6-8 inches of
snow, which isn't all that much, but it is close to 3C/32F so the snow
is wet and sticky, and it is blowing. The roads are treacherous.
Luckily, most people seem to be staying off the roads so traffic is very
light.

It was cold and rainy last night but bright and sunny today. Dodged
another one.

We went up to the Rick Steves travel joint in Edmonds, WA today for a
"survival German" class. (I have a meeting in Berlin at the end of
June, and we're going to Switzerland afterward. Neither of us speaks
German. We know enough now to be polite.) We had some flurries on the
way up and back, but nothing major. Earlier in the week, as Julie
mentioned, we got a bit more snow. The powers that be in Seattle have
finally gotten the knack of dealing with it. You don't put down the
salt 24 hours before the snow flies or after 6" have fallen, you do it
when the snow starts.

OB Food: We had lunch at a place in Edmonds called Chanterelle. They
have a killer tomato bisque and good sandwiches.
