Let it Snow
I was out and about today and was startled to see just how low the snowline was from last night's (12/6/09) precipitation; not only was Mount Diablo white almost to the base, but the Concord Hills were snow-covered and even the low peaks in Briones park to our west had a sprinkling of the white stuff.
On the news they said that snow had not fallen this low in this amount since 1978, and from what I can see, I believe it. Here, see for yourself (click for double size):
That's Diablo seen from Concord/Pleasant Hill at noon today; note the Concord (Clayton?) hills to the left. Sorry about the resolution, that's from my cell phone. A new camera is on my Christmas list (hint, hint).
