That is Definitely Snow

Apparently Mt. Tamalpais and the rest of the Bay Area are experiencing warm, potentially, record temperatures this week. I wouldn't know.

I've been in NW Pennsylvania and Philadelphia so far this week. So I only know what sfgate says. When I check the weather at the Duck Shack, I don't see it yet.

I flew to Buffalo on Monday and drove to Bradford, PA that night for a sales meeting the next day. It had snowed that day and was a bit of a winter wonderland. The next morning at the meeting I asked about the snow, and they reckoned it wasn't enough snow to be counted as "a snow". I may be a California boy these days, but even I know it was definitely snow. I think the Lake Effect has probably knocked the local snow gauge out of calibration.

After my sales meeting I drove all the way across Pennsylvania to the Philadelphia area for two sales meetings today. Lots of fun. One thing I did learn, Pennsylvania is hilly from corner to corner. Very hilly. Not quite mountainous -- except when you are in the mountains of course, but very hilly. BTW, there is no snow in Philadelphia.

Tonight I am traveling to Memphis again. I told you I would get to go back! I understand it is rainy there. Can't wait. I get to stay until Friday evening. I get home after Midnight. Oh boy!

No pictures to show, though I did bring my G9. I just didn't have the time to take anything other than windshields and airports so far. I'm sure folks are bored of those pictures by now. Maybe tomorrow in Memphis.
