February 2007 ArchivesDon't let those daffodils fool you. Winter is not over yet. Snow is falling hard in the coast range . Enough so drivers are chaining up. Buses and trucks slid off the road on Skyline this morning and we may see a repeat tonight and Wednesday morning. Matt was kind enough to talk with my daughter Ali's class this morning and I'm sure the possibility of snow was a big topic with the kids.We'll have Matt's forecast at five...as well as te...
