Snow in the Bay Area
Posted on January 23, 2008

It rarely snows here, but one of the Bay Area’s tallest peaks, Mt. Diablo, has a healthy dusting of snow today, and the snow level was said to have fallen as low as 1000 feet.
In the past, a snow level of 1000 feet has meant snow on Windy Hill, a nearby geographic feature. That’s Cassie and me pictured in 1998 in a mini-blizzard atop Windy Hill. Snow, again, is a rare event in Silicon Valley.
Were I more mobile and less encumbered by the need for MRIs and doctor appointments, and were Cassie, sadly, not in the pet hospital, I think we would have headed up to Windy just to see if, perhaps, there might be snow.
Cassie, born and bred in California, nevertheless loves the snow - she will chase snowflakes, run, slide and roll in the white stuff… it’s hard for us both to be old and infirm…

Chris, our Maggie is 12 years plus also with a back problem. We have gotten very good results with a veterinary chiropractor. Suspend skepticism, this guy has done some amazing stuff with dogs. He generally meets you at your vet and charges $50. The vet charges for the room rent. We use Animal Doctors, used to be on Avy now way down on Page Mill. Anyway try Kelly Thompson 650-941-1311. He works Monday and Friday here and mid-week in Southern California. I’m convinced he has saved us big bucks in vet bills and found a way to improve Maggie’s life.

I tried to post this as a comment to Linda’s blog but it’s confusing as to what protocol has to be followed there.

Not sure it’s possible to actually touch the Mt. Diablo snow, but U can hike into the Ohlone wilderness snow. That was 6″ in 2006.
