I heard it hailed and snowed this weekend. I was in the office all morning Friday, so I didn't see anything, and I haven't seen any of it this weekend either. All this talk about hail and snow reminded me of an incident when I was an undergraduate student at Davis. I went home for the weekend, just like most weekends, and since I didn't have class until Monday evening, I was still at home in the Bay Area Monday morning. My friend called me bright and early around 7 and said, "Look out the window!!! It's snowing!!!!" From what I recall, it doesn't snow in Davis or at least is very rare. Even though I was incredibly groggy, I was super excited. I looked out my window and didn't see any snow. I said, "What? I don't see any snow!" She asked, "Where are you?" I told her I was at home, and she said, "Oops.. It's snowing in Davis." So not only did she rub it in that I didn't get to see the snow, but she also woke me up at 7. :P I think she meant well. ;)
There was a 32-car pile up on 101 in Sausalito Saturday morning around 2. There were 2 fatalities and many injuries. :/ The two people in a Honda Civic died. That freeway was closed for 11 hours while CHP tried to piece together the sequence of events and have the cars towed.
