Guest guest Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Rare dusting of snow at low elevations Kevin Fagan, Chronicle Staff Writer Tuesday, December 8, 2009 -- -- (12-07) 14:39 PST DANVILLE -- Beau the Labrador bounded out of his home in Alamo just after lunchtime Monday and stopped short, stunned at the sight of something he'd never seen in his four years of doggie life. -- Bay Area Weather -- It was white and cold. His owner, Stephanie Cornell, pointed him uphill and shouted, " See, Beau! Snow! " That was all the cue Beau needed to do what dogs do: Jam his snout into the quarter-inch carpet of white stuff and shake flecks in every direction in a happy frenzy. " This is absolutely amazing, " Cornell said. She called out to her pooch with a laugh: " Have fun - you won't get too many more chances like that here. " If history holds its course, it could be decades before Beau's descendants get that chance. Biggest in years It's been nearly eight years since snow fell as intensely in the Bay Area as it did Monday, when a chilly storm swept down from the north. But the big snow dump of January 2002 didn't get below 500 feet - and Cornell's dog was having his romp at an elevation of 259 feet. " It's impressive, " said longtime weather forecaster Mike Pechner. " This is one of the heaviest and lowest Bay Area snowfalls in 25 years. " It wasn't quite February 1976 or January 1962, when snow fell practically at sea level. But it wasn't that far off. People were hurling snowballs and making snowmen in Moraga, on the Altamont Pass, in Castro Valley and on every high spot of elevation from the Oakland hills all the way south to the Santa Cruz Mountains. Even San Francisco got its share of chilly entertainment. At 1:30 p.m., a mixture of rain, hail and sleet fell for about 10 minutes downtown. 18 inches on Diablo The storm dropped 8 inches on top of Mount Hamilton and dusted the top of Mount Tamalpais, but it saved its biggest embrace for Mount Diablo. The 3,849-foot mountain usually gets whitened a couple of times in winter, but Monday dawned to reveal a whopping 18 inches at the peak. " It was literally snowing on me this morning when I got up, " said Randy Nehas, who lives on Stone Valley Road not far from Mount Diablo. " We got a quarter-inch of snow a couple of years ago, but this is very cool. It's different. " Mount Diablo's share of snow was so heavy, and the pavement so icy, that rangers closed all the roads heading up the mountain. All day long, cars came screeching to unexpected halts at the locked gates. " Oh, no way! What a bummer! " yelped Mike Haralameides as he stared at the " closed " sign on the southern entrance at 1 p.m. He'd taken the day off from his catering job and driven from home in Martinez with his friend Ingrid Mayer to play in the snow. " Guess we'll just have to try to find it somewhere else, " he said dejectedly as Mayer tooled their sedan back downhill - past four other cars heading up, about to get the bad news. Freeze coming With the clouds clearing out, attention turned next to all the cold air left behind. " We're putting out a freeze warning for the inland areas, because we expect it to reach 28 degrees or lower, " said Brian Tentinger of the National Weather Service. " With all that moisture on the ground, it could make for some very slick locations on the road from ice. " Wednesday morning could be even colder, with the weather service saying some inland valleys could see lows in the teens. Water-wise, Monday's storm was just OK news for a state that needs all the precipitation it can get after three subpar years. Only about a half-inch of rain fell on most places in between all that snow, though some parts of the South Bay received an inch and a half. The best news was that in the Sierra, where the snow that falls in December irrigates flatland fields and lawns in July, as much as 3 1/2 feet buried the terrain above 8,000 feet. More rain is on tap soon, but don't expect snow in the Bay Area to go with it. " This next storm is coming in from the Pacific, and will probably last from Wednesday to the end of the week, " Tentinger said. " It won't be as cold, and it will be a little steadier rain than this one we just had. " What's ahead Freeze: Inland temperatures of 28 degrees or lower are predicted for this morning and early Wednesday. More rain: A warm, wet storm is expected Wednesday evening, with more rain into the end of the week. Chronicle staff writer Henry K. Lee contributed to this report. E-mail Kevin Fagan at kfagan.

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009  Sounds like fun :-) My dog looked surprised the first time he saw snow. We opened the back door and there was this foot-high wall of snow. My dog was a Scottish terrier, so not very tall, and he looked at the wall of snow, and jumped over it - or so he thought. Of course, he just disappeared in the snow and all I could see were two little ears and a tail :-) Jo - fraggle vegan chat Tuesday, December 08, 2009 6:08 PM YUCK!

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 Maybe I'm just getting old, but while I love seeing my animals first impressions and joy with the snow, it quickly turns to annoyance. I live in Chicago and we've woke up the last two mornings to snow. It's going to snow again tomorrow with 40mph winds, then drop down to 5. Yeah, 5. I've already had my fill of winter. I've been actually thinking maybe it's time to get out of the area. I like spring-time kinda temps.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Dogs in snow are so funny. We had rescued Rottweilers when i was little and they were so funny in the snow playing. The photos were really funny too as they looked like dalmatians in reverse all dark and covered with the snowflakes.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 In a freshly fallen snow, they have fun because it's usually not cold. Today in Chicago, it's a balmy 8 (F) with a wind chill of -13. My rottie's feet got so cold that he just couldn't walk. He just stayed in one spot and kept trying to keep his feet out of all the snow we had yesterday. That's the problem here....right after we get snow, it's usually followed with bitter cold temps. Would love snow that melts the next day! Am I sounding bah-humbug enough??? I hate this cold!!!!! ~~VickyAlicia <ms.alicia.armstrong Sent: Thu, December 10, 2009 6:06:39 AMRe: Re: YUCK!

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 You are not sounding like a bah-humbug at all :-) I like our snow because it comes, stays for a day or maybe too, and then goes. I wouldn't like it to be as cold as you have it at the moment. Jo , damiensmom <damiensmom1995 wrote: > > In a freshly fallen snow, they have fun because it's usually not cold. Today in Chicago, it's a balmy 8 (F) with a wind chill of -13. My rottie's feet got so cold that he just couldn't walk. He just stayed in one spot and kept trying to keep his feet out of all the snow we had yesterday. That's the problem here....right after we get snow, it's usually followed with bitter cold temps. Would love snow that melts the next day! Am I sounding bah-humbug enough??? I hate this cold!!!!! ~~Vicky > > > > > ________________________________ > Alicia <ms.alicia.armstrong > > Thu, December 10, 2009 6:06:39 AM > Re: Re: YUCK! > > > Dogs in snow are so funny.
