Snow!

by mikeA on Dec 16, 2008 3:27 PM PST Comment 37 comments

It's snowing at College and Alcatraz. There was a bunch of snow up on the hills behind the Claremont Hotel this morning. Snow is an interesting topic, and yet I find it difficult to compose an essay of 75 words on the subject. It is wet and white, and cold, and humanoid figures may be formed by packing it together. Snow was first discovered in 1879 by the noted man of science, Thomas Edison, who would later briefly have a baseball park named in his honor.

I meant John Snow's replacement...

…who was Paul O’Neill’s replacement. Who’d of thought that that damned Yankee/Reds OF knew anything about the U.S. Treasury…more than Paulson does, anyhow.

Thought you were thinking of Tony.

Wow

It’s certainly quite cold in North Berkeley, but no snow.

Snow

Can he play shortstop? He was a great 1st baseman. I’d take him over Barton.

By the way, I really enjoyed your last bit about Edison. See that was worth making it 75 words.

Hasn't snowed here yet...

I’ll be back in the East Bay next week. If it snows there I think I’ll smack someone. Maybe mikeA.

Children, until we have taught them better, will be perfectly happy with a seasonal round of games in which conkers succeeds hopscotch.

I thought we signed JT

I might have started crying.

I'm here to talk about the past.

JT's moved on to hockey.

On a Sharks telecast last week Snow popped ’round for some time between the pipes. Took some shots from Roenick and the gang. Made one great save, but it appears baseball was his calling after all.

Snowy week here in Portland, OR

Kind of bad timing, my Wife is ready to give birth this week, not looking forward to driving in it.

Does it snow in Portland a lot?

I’m thinking of relocating there within the next couple weeks and trying to get a feel for the place.

Okay...

Are you referring to a street called Alcatraz, or the island? Because snow on the island would be incredibly neato.

Snowing in NYC

Very hard, too. Which is all well and good except SOMEONE has to catch an international flight tomorrow evening….

We had about four inches of snow today.

Thursday there is supposed to be an ice storm.

Good news – don’t have to worry about going to work in the bad weather.
Greater news – Channel 5 Weather Hottie Tom Wachs has been filling in for the usual morning guy. That’s right, extended coverage. All. Morning. Long. I got up at 7:00 this morning to watch the weather.

But he came back. And there was much rejoicing.
