This was new! (Hail in Oakland in April)

[RichK]

Spent a few seconds between lanes in this stuff - not fun!

 

[Marcoose]

Yikes!

 

[planegray]

Yeah, I quit splitting pretty quick too, once I realized what that stuff was :banana :ride

I got hit by some heading to the bridge this morning, hail at 50mph is painful!

 

[enzo76]

Jesus. What is that, cocaine???

 

[Aware]

There was hail here in Milpitas too.

I see snow up on top of Mount Hamilton in the distance.

Got caught in some in Mountain View this morning, though definitely not to the point where it accumulated on the ground like your photo.

1972 Winter

In '72, I was coming home from SF State to a house in Montclair in the Oakland Hills. It snowed a little as I was crossing the Bay Bridge, and by the time I got to Thornhill Drive near my house, the snow was like 4" deep and slicker than snot.

I got as far as Woodhaven Way and Thornhill where there was NO traction at all on my clunky old R50. So I parked it and walked up the hill.

That canyon is very shady in the Winter, and snow stayed on the ground for days. Burr!

Then the time I got caught in a blizzard riding from Death Valley to Mammoth Lakes... never again.
