I see the snow!

Yes, the last post concerned snow too, but this time I didn't take a 200+ mile bus journey up into the Sierra Nevada, this time I rolled out of bed, ambled into the lounge and looked out of the front window.

There's been a sprinkling snow on top of Mt. Toro for the last few days as we've had a series of cold storms sweep through the bay, but this morning it was a bit more than a sprinkling as you can see below.


The snow level was low enough this morning to close Highway 9, cause massive delays on Highway 17 and leave a white cap on various hill tops around Monterey Bay.

For the record, Mt. Toro is around 3500' tall.

The stormy weather is due to continue all weekend long, but the snow level should rise as a warmer storm system comes up from Mexico (the current one came down from Alaska!).
