It's cold here in San Francisco right now and news on the street is that it's going to snow tomorrow and/or Saturday. This is San Francisco, so we're talking big deal here.

Of course, I've already heard coworkers saying that "there's a blizzard coming!" A number of them won't be into work tomorrow because of the snow (likely to be and inch or less).

Anyway, thought I'd share with you folks who've seriously suffered this past winter. I called my friend in Maine right after one of the blizzards and she said "Meh, it's no big deal, so it snows a bit every so often." You are tougher than us.

speak for yourself hippy, we californians are a tough lot. Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a cup of regular coffee in this town that isn't some single source, fair trade, organically grown from heirloom seeds that gestated in the ass of a baboon that was raised in a holistic communal environment made up of Unionized Oompah Loompah's?

There used to be a coffee shop in Upper Haight that the best vanilla mocha...

NOAA says maybe a dusting above 1000ft in the Bay Area Friday night and Saturday, then clear on Sunday. I remember being out on the delta many years ago under similar conditions -- Mt Diablo is going to be gorgeous in the morning sun.

In other news, we here in the emerald city managed to get more than 12 snowflakes in one shot and amazingly, the city didn't become completely paralyzed. On the other hand, it's been enough to keep gg off her sparkly new Bonnie for a little while, which is saying something...

What temperature is "cold"?

A month ago, I stole away to the garage with a fresh-from-the-refrigerator beer poured into a glass. There was steam coming off the top, as if it were hot coffee. Now that was cold.

I'm taking fresh hot water out to the chickens and ducks twice a day because it freezes solid in a couple hours.
Last time I peeked in on the bikes in the shed the tires looked deflated, it was so cold.

Not a Baboon, a Civet Cat.
