Mt. Hamilton Observatory in the snow

Sorry for the lousy quality--low light levels, telephoto from about ten miles away. That's the view from my apartment balcony.

There were predictions of snow at sea level, but it didn't materialize. Last time that happened was 1976, and it was a memorable occasion. The whole Bay Area shut down as everybody rushed out to savor the novelty of it.

But damn, it's still coooold around here. I feel kind of cheated to shiver in subfreezing temps without at least the payoff of snow.
