So, get on with it already!No, not you folks, but the weather gods.
The weatherpersons here keep predicting snow and we get about 5 flakes. I did move to the dry side for the sunny days (as opposed to that d@mn tule fog in CA's central valley), but this is stupid. Driving home yesterday I could see tantalizing glimpses on the first ridge to the west which is about 300 ft higher than my house. Oh so close.
At least the Bobs and I found a bit of winter whilst sightseeing.

NOW it's snowing
My goodness. It's coming down like real snow today.

Yup, it sure looks like it's serious! Can barely see across the parking lot. The kids in the apt complex are going nuts!
Costco was brimming with crazed shoppers (didn't even go in) and panicked folks were lining up in the roadway to get into the gas station. We decided that a Costco experience was not on our list for today after all.

I noticed that at Costco! Bet we were in the lot at the same time---we went to Verizon to get my cell phone replaced.

yeah, we probably were! We went to Home Depot and got an ice scraper/snow brush. We had to ask a clerk where they were... waaaaaaay in the back hidden from view. Right next to one lonely display of snow shovels.
