Brrr

It has been so cold the last two days that the mountains around here - Diablo and Hamilton near San Jose - are snow capped.  Driving to the Lawrence Livermore Lab this morning for a tour of the new controlled nuclear fusion faciity that uses laser technology, the white on top of the mountains were clearly visible.  The cold and rain has translated to the white stuff at elevations around 2,000 ft.  In fact, even as I pen this, it is snowing at elevations as low as 1,600 ft at the East Bay Hills and people are actually driving up to build snow men and throw snow balls.
