People in the Frisco Bay Area have to drive three or four hours for this stuff, which was all gone the next day.
Portland’s balmy climate
I stepped out the house where I’ve been staying in Greater Portland the other morning to be greeted by this sight. People in the Frisco Bay Area have to drive three or four hours for this stuff, which was all gone the next day.
We don’t drive 3 or 4 hours for stuff that’s all gone the next day. We drive 3 or 4 hours for stuff that stays for months. If we want stuff that’s gone the next day, we wait for it to come to Mt. Hamilton or Mt. Diablo, both only 30 minutes away.
I’m with Mike. One day on a visit in January I hiked up Mt. Tam and was greeted with a bit of freezing hail. Then I drove to Mt. Diablo and there was 6″ of accumulation on the trail up and about a foot of accumulation on the top. There was ice on the metal railings on the observation hut. I heard about but didn’t see snow on Skyline Dr. in San Mateo county on a different occasion, and that’s about 2400′.
