   Please preserve this video for posterity as our grandchildren won’t know what snow looks like .

   I live in the lower foothills of the Central Sierra Nevada Mountains, about 1200 ft. (Nevada can be traslated from Spanish to English, meaning “snowy.”) We only get one or two slushy snows a year, never lasting more than a couple of hours, maybe overnight. But I love it. I grew up in Northern Illinois in the fifties and sixties. We had long cold snowy winters back then. I can remember more than on morning after a snow storm in the night, leaving a foot or more of fresh new snow on the ground, with a bright, cloudless blue sky, getting on my “surplus” marine artic boots and going tramping around in the virgin snow. Wow! Of course, if we really are headed into an ice age … well, I pity the people in the northern tier states and New England and Canada. But, here, from what I’ve read, it will be just a bit cooler and a little wetter, which wouldn’t be a bad thing and with maybe a bit more snow where I live.

   I live New Orleans. I got all y’all beat. We only get snow about once every twenty years. if we start getting snow every year, then it is time to truely get worried!

     Even during Ice ages, the New Orleans area would seldom have seen snow if at all. Check the Ice Age maps on the right of this site and do a little research and you will find that only a few miles from the mile high ice cap there were short hot summers. Of course once the North winds blew hard things would cool down substantially but there were still growing seasons in the American midwest and elsewhere. Life below the extent of the Ice Cap moved along with little effect from the Ice Age.

   I would very much like to see it snow in San Francisco. Let the media ignore that.

     It’s coming. Possibly this winter.

     I saw snow last winter in San Francisco. It was a drizzly day when the drizzle briefly changed to a mixture of drizzle and snow that melted immediately upon hitting the wet ground. Next time maybe it will pile up.

   I live in the near by region and yes it’s to little early for this time of year. Last year where I live in WV. We got snow in late October and no one can remember it snowing that early.

   I check this site at Snowshoe all the time in fall and winter. I had a video I saved from last year -it was actually Oct 3rd when it snowed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZr9owqAC5w&list=UUyHkquxeAq6NfcftOYoTLwQ&index=88&feature=plcp
