It's freaking SNOWING in San Diego right now

[lazarus]

Just a little bit, and we're up in the foothills, but still.

Weird.

It's almost more like a fog or a mist, but it's falling. Like snow. And it's not nearly cold enough. But I've lived where it snows, and this is snow.

On edit: It's not sticking at all. And it's not that hard, but it's snow.

Weird.

1. Are you shitting me?

It was 55 degrees yesterday in Bozeman Montana, and not a speck of snow on the ground!

[lazarus]

3. Nope

I can't believe it. It's maybe low 40's outside, but what we're getting is what survived the drop, I think. No way it's sticking. This is one of those weird "warm snows" you get sometimes in the mountains.

We're below dewpoint right now, so...

2. How weird...

It was 62 degrees here yesterday and I'm over a thousand miles north of San Diego!

[lazarus]

5. we're in the foothills

downtown it's in the 50's. But up here in the mountain areas, you get some strange microclimates.

8. Where in the foothills are you at?

I was in El Cajon till 11:00 and it was about 50 degs.
Descanso?
Pine Valley?
Cuyamaca?

9. Just north of there

in Lakeside.

I still don't understand it, but Haele called me out there, and there it was.

:shrug:

[maveric]

10. Snowing in Lakeside?

WFT!
It really wasnt that cold in EC.
Wow,what 7 miles away will do.

[lazarus]

11. It's vertical movement, I guess

Plus, we're out of town. Lakeside is just a little hamlet, after all. And we're a bit higher up.

Weird how these microclimates behave, isn't it?

4. Too cool!!!

we have to head to our CO house to get any (N CA). We get dustings in the HIGH foothills here - at best.

[NYC]

6. Very strange.

When is the last time that happened?

[lazarus]

7. I dunno

My wife (Haele) is from here. She says we're only ten miles (horizontal) from areas that get snow a lot. We're near 1,000 feet, but we're surrounded by much higher mountains.

12. Well so much for moving from Colorado to San Diego

to get away from the snow!

[lazarus]

13. Nah

It's a weird glitch, is all.

Living up here in the foothills, we figure global warming will give us nice beachfront living soon, anyway. :evilgrin:

[Cadence]

15. Yeah. There's people in Colorado that think

that same thing...

[jdots]

14. Too strange.

in Topanga (west S.F. Valley ) it trys to snow but just can't seem to do it. This may be a very odd winter= El Wierdo a new form of man warping nature.

[toymachines]

16. thats nuts, its not even that cold here

good to know, thanks for sharing

[Skittles]

17. what's the big deal?

it's been known to snow in Dallas too

[lazarus]

18. Yeah

and Florida, even.

It's just highly unusual.

[Skittles]

19. got ya

LOL, it's HILARIOUS what a tiny bit of ice will do in Texas. :D
