"The Graduate" Tour of Berkeley

Saturday, November 17, 2007

Out here in the San Francisco Bay Area, there was

supposed to be a rare snow storm this morning.



Didn't happen. The freezing air and the precip didn't quite

sync up. The rain came first -- and then the cold.

Rather than simultaneously. Hence, no real snow.

Or not much.


And in the East Bay, fifteen miles from San Fran,

I didn't see any at all this afternoon when I hiked

in hills that were around 1,700-feet high.



Instead of snow, there were a freezing deep blue sky

and sharply white cumulus clouds.



Here're some photos I shot this afternoon:



The sky above the East Bay hills.

The hills were alive with...cumulus clouds!

The Price of Revolution

Sign of the times: gas is already above four
bucks a gallon in the Bay Area.


But I digress. Paul
