Cold Smoke.


I know we tend to focus on the Bay Area weather, but snow is the talk of the town this coming weekend.  Up in the Sierra, they are expecting several to upwards of four feet of snow by Saturday morning.  Record cold temperatures, and sun breaking out late in the day should make for a spectacular Saturday.  But you will not need to travel to Tahoe this weekend to enjoy the snow.  You can do that right here in the Santa Cruz mountains, or Diable.  Even Tam should get some up top.  Road may get a bit tricky in the next few days, especially on Saturday morning.  We may see snow on the roads down to 100 feet above sea level as dawn breaks.  Get out and enjoy it, but be careful.

It will be shockingly cold on Saturday, regardless if you live on the coast or in the hills.  Be prepared.  Carry extra layers and layer on more than you think you will need.  Expect cold.

Rain was reported beginning around 7AM in San Francisco.  Light snow was falling along the crest this morning, and it got more consistent in the afternoon.  Falling down consistent this evening.  A storm day of skiing is on tap for tomorrow, and a great weekend ahead.

Sunday should be sunny and warm up a bit.  We may see the high 50s through Monday, but a breeze start to comes in mid day, cooling this off.  Rain and showers begin again next week around Tuesday, with a spell of heavy precipitation forecasted.  Currently, it looks like the brunt will come toward the end of the work week.

Another day of rain (or snow really for most areas), a fair Saturday, and a great Sunday.  Should be fun.
