Just happened to look at the local forecast, since we are expecting a
bit of snow today, and saw this:

"snow with a chance of thunderstorms this afternoon"

Snow during thunderstorms? Snow before thunderstorms?

Snow during thunderstorms is something I don't recall experiencing.

We're predicted for 12 to 16" of snow.

Someone on the Sound, someone is boating. Betcha.


Rarely happens, but usually indicates more snow within a couple of
weeks....

We're predicted as much as 3" and we 20 miles north of the SC line and
within sight of the beach. Lake boaters in central NC are looking at
8" of wet snow....


As of now, in spite of all the white stuff falling... it is melting as
quickly as it is hitting the ground... except for wood decks and the
like...

Cold and windy. Probably low 50's in Santa Monica. Driving back from the
other daughter in Long Beach, was raining hard. Really hard. Was surprised
that I saw no accidents on the way back. Daughters Mother in law drove down
from Sacramento area yesterday, and said was foggy in the valley at times.
Try to take the kayak for stripers or trout this week.
