Central Coast Calif: Went wine tasting today, cold but no snow...then about 5:00pm it got COLD! Started to hail. Mountains around us were
getting snow. ( I know what COLD is, lived in Wyoming for 10 years!)
I remember that! The parking lot at Stonestown had about an inch and a half of that ice ball slush covering the entire lot. Worst part of that were
the crunching of cars on 19th Ave and watching the mall security car with its yellow light bar flashing as it spins in circles in the lot.
Actually the City was prepared for icy conditions on the steepest hills. They had a number of dumptrucks filled with gravel. But they didn't have to
use it.
