"Let it Snow . . . "
Greetings,
Snow. In San Francisco. This weekend. Or, at least that's what our weather forecasters are saying. Which all sounds very exciting - except for the fact that I'll be in Los Angeles this weekend - and will miss it. Darnit. lol.
As one would suspect, we don't get snow here very often - so I thought I'd share a few images of 'snow through the ages' from the usually temperate San Francisco.
For you locals here this weekend - bundle up!

I love the photos! I wish I loved the cold - I love it from afar - through windows and in photos and postcards :)

Let's just hope it remains a rare occasion, as getting up and down the hills could be a problem.
Cheer,
