This picture was taken in a park a few miles east of my house and about 600 feet higher. Naturally, the park is closed for the day; there might be 3 to 6 inches of snow. This sounds silly to my winter-toughened Northeastern self, but most Bay Area Californians can’t even drive in the rain, much less snow. Also, we have no snowplows.
