re: #260 reine.de.tout

It sneauxed here last year for the first time in 12 years, and we had a 3 inch accumulation for several hours! It was great.

So we actually have “first snow of the decade” rather than first snow of the season. It’s why everybody turns into a 10 year old.

There was a snowfall in the San Francisco Bay Area in 1979. Everyone still remembers it. Except me, we were still living in Santa Barbara that year. When I was ten or so, my parents drove up into the mountains so I could see some snow. They both grew up in Southern California, so I have no idea why they considered this an important cultural experience.
