Smile Snow in Skyline Blvd (SF)?

Hi all,

Just wanna share some pictures that I took from my drive this morning. I was surprised that there were some snow along Skyline Blvd (Hwy 35). I didn't expect this snow at all. In a way it's pretty but it did force me to slow down considerably

We had a dusting this week too. 12". Even more up by Road America.

No pictures, tho. The cars are in the garage where they are safe from the Strets and Sanitation's salt trucks.

Hi Mike,

I heard that New England had a pretty bad snowstorm? I used to live in Minneapolis (which has a similar weather as Chicago?) for 4.5 years so I kind of know what is it like to live in a place where you have snow 6 months in a year

But I didn't expect at all that I will see snow here in San Jose area I guess I haven't been here long enough (~ 3 years) because some local people told me that it does snow every now and then here too

I lived in Saratoga when I was a kid, and remember waking up and seeing snow on the crests of the coast range.

And man has my old neighborhood changed.

So, do you ever miss Minneapolis?

Mike

Snow on Skyline! Skyline was one of my favorite roads when I lived in Mountain View. It was always a tough decision to make, which toy to take out on any particular day (motorcycle or 993). Skyline is a great road, thanks for the pics and memories...

Hi Mike, I do miss Minneapolis sometimes. Besides of the "harsh" weather, I think Minneapolis is a nice place to live. People are certainly very nice there
