Cowed by the appearance of snow right down to the shoulders of the highway, commuters along I-680, this morning, eschewed their normal, frenetic pace, and were drifting along at 45-50mph taking in the snowy scenery.

As of right now I have 11 inches on the deck. The roads are a mess and it is suppose to get down to 0 degrees tonight.
Hiway 4 from Copper to Angels Camp is closed because of numerous spin outs and accidents. People up here don’t know how to drive in snow. Keeping CHP VERY busy! Been snowing since 7am or so. Hopefully, it stops soon.
Maybe God is mocking the Warmists.
I loved my trips to the mountains to play in the snow. ENJOY!!!!!!!
We woke up to 18” and still falling.
Had to call in to take the day off to clear the driveway.
No way will I be able to get my Jetta out of this mess!
We got a few flakes here in Southern Oregon, that’s not unusual, what is unusual is the highs are 30 degrees and the lows in the low teens, that’s unusual for early December!
