    It's not supposed to be like this in the Bay Area. However my kids did get to play in the snow for the second time in their nine-year lives in the hills above our home. High of about 45 today, degrees that is.

    Warmed up to 30 degrees today in Erie, Pa., but the wind chill was 14 degrees, and we're up to about 8 inches of snow. More snow for the rest of the week and colder temps are returning tomorrow.

It was 76 degrees yesterday and my 1st grade class spent a wonderful afternoon outside working and playing. Today it's supposed to be 35 with a low of 19. Texas weather...sigh.

Traffic is diminishing to a crawl as the big storm intensifies. Not sure how long I'll stick around work this morning, with anywhere from 8" to 15+" forecast today in KC and into central MO.After the snow stops Wednesday, we'll have double digit minus F temps by Thursday!!

With the current snow storm raging outside the window and the storms coming with every 3-4 days with temps avg. 20 -- this is not a normal winter. Nor are our summers. When heat gets trapped in the atmosphere and can't escape it turn's into moisture, thus, all of the aforementioned. It won't be this way every year but the oscillation depending on el nino/nina currents will become less dispersed. I ave always asked the question though, where did the titans of industry who created these greenhouse gasses believe they and their loved ones would be safe? I do love a good snowstorm though, no two flakes alike - just like deadheads!

Hey Ted I have found out the hard way that as soon as the temp goes below zero, your beer becomes very unhappy. Speaking of beer, they cancelled the Avalanche Blues game last night, had the DVR set and everything .. Stay safe out there!! I think we just may push above zero today here in CO.

For safekeeping, Ted. Really, I'll store it for ya, no charge aside from maybe a wee bit of sampling to ensure that quality hasn't been compromised. Reached 64F yesterday, though it'll be just in the 40s today.

Garage temperature is hovering around 33: outside it dipped to 4 below. I grabbed the good stuff and stuck it in the basement by the sump pump ( Ayinger, Hopslam and Bigfoot). Regular brews seemed to survive in the garage without fizzing thru the caps (Avery and Pyramid). I'm saving the Mickey's Big Mouth supply for Johnman if he comes to visit scenic Kansas.

What a long strange winter it's been! I'm ready for some baseball. Our Royals, with the best Cactus league record, welcome the California /Anaheim/Los Angeles Angels !!! Who the heck do the Angels have this year?? Vladdy's been gone awhile. Unfortunately here in Kansas, it's 34 degrees w a 60% chance of wetness coming at KC from the northwest...brrrr. I'll have to wear a glove in order to hold the $8 beer. Go get 'em Royals!

it's pretty darn nice here in Oakland too. The only thing I can find to complain about is that it's brought out the foxtails, which is a bummer from the dogs' point of view, because it's making a lot of their favorite spots a real minefield for the next few months. (Foxtails, for those not familiar with the grasses for which we can apparently blame the conquistadors, are spiky, barbed grass awns programmed by evolution to work their way up every canine orifice that presents itself, and create a few new ones, to the tune of much anguish and $$$. Wheat, basically, though oats are no treat in this regard either.)

Marye, your description doesn't evoke the mental picture that I usually get when I see the words "dog" and "minefield" used in the same sentence. Especially my dogs in relation to the minefield that they create in my back yard...actually, THEIR back yard. 80s yesterday in NC, a front came through and now we're in the 60s and sunny. Better than those tornado weather patterns of the past couple of weeks.

is super conscientious about foxtails because he had a dog DIE from an unsuspected one that worked its way into the dog's brain. My Callie in her younger days celebrated each spring by inhaling a foxtail. Now that she's old I'm really hoping to avoid it. I'm also hoping Cash avoids her snorking ways. It's tough though; right now our neighborhood is full of the darn things.

but prediction is for rain and lots of it. Last night folks were lucky as the rain held off and the show was awesome by all accounts. Tonight I'd say be prepared for anything. The seats in the 100s are pretty well covered. The 200s and lawn, not so much.
