I walked to the Whole Foods on California.<br /><br />Boy, you picked a heck of a weather time to visit SF. The skies opened and all hail broke loose. Hope you feel better soon, and loved the pics of the snow, the pass, and Truckee.<br /><br />(I never learned to drive in the snow. Two snowflakes would immobilize me. Let alone two snowflakes on Donner Pass!)Janehttp://www.theliteraryhorse.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773599297895528113.post-55774985879486478662011-01-03T09:17:07.466-08:002011-01-03T09:17:07.466-08:00You know, there were no wrecks.

I think it was just a backwards propogating traffic jam from where traffic hit the snow line and slowed down to 20 - that made everybody else grind to a halt, then inch forward, then eventually get to zoom off at 20. <br /><br />We did consider waiting til Thursday to drive over, but I think we were the only people for 500 miles around who thought that. Traffic was the opposite of light. <br /><br />SF is a great city if you must be in a city. It's not for me - entirely too crowded. I think if I had a bazillion full-spectrum lights in my house I could deal with living in the Seattle area - the metro area isn't as huge and crowded. And Seattle does have the most epic snowstorm wrecks!<br /><br />AKPG - we have a few of those guys here. They're everywhere, of course. Ours are the macho guys in jacked up trucks who are <i>trying</i> to spin out - every now and then they crash epically.Funderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06358687366401205336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773599297895528113.post-90097954667273588322011-01-02T15:41:58.661-08:002011-01-02T15:41:58.661-08:00Even here drivers forget how to drive on the ice a...Even here drivers forget how to drive on the ice and snow and must relearn every winter. Then, of course, there are the ones who think 4WD and studded tires make them invincible. They run 60 mph, weaving in and out of traffic until they slide off the road, roll at least once and really foul up the traffic. There is one way into and out of Anchorage from the Valley and 30,000 cars twice a day. I am SOOOOO glad I don't commute anymore.AKPonyGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02969589711581884433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773599297895528113.post-32304387092362031272011-01-02T13:02:37.215-08:002011-01-02T13:02:37.215-08:00You got me laughing at the $35 a day parking witho...You got me laughing at the $35 a day parking without even walking or playing with your truck! Oh my, that did tickle my funny bone.<br /><br />The prices in the big cities make me crazy too although where I live is close enough to big places they think they should overcharge too. Crazy.<br /><br />Glad you are home safe and hope you get well quicker than I have been doing. I am so sick of coughing and really dying to get back on a horse. <br /><br />Happy New Year to you!!Rising Rainbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04239592070775412669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773599297895528113.post-56563341390070933222011-01-02T10:58:54.318-08:002011-01-02T10:58:54.318-08:00The mountains certainly are lovely...

Days of sunshine around here are too precious to waste being sickly, even when I AM sickly. <br /><br />If one must live in a city, SF is a good choice. Also Seattle and Portland. Beyond those, I have no opinion or experience. But icy weather in any of them is awful--best to just stay home!AareneXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17569818745110332355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773599297895528113.post-12183609014362337472011-01-02T09:32:05.890-08:002011-01-02T09:32:05.890-08:00Don't you just hate folks who don't know h...Don't you just hate folks who don't know how to drive in the snow?! Seattle and Portland are notorious when they get a little, and Melissa, at Paradigm Farms, was talking about the panic that hits in the South whenever snow is forecast (present company excepted!).<br />I don't think I could ever live in the city again, or in an apartment, or even in a housing track. Just too many bloomin' people! Hope G's job is worth it! What's he do that he needs a cross-stitch about haters?<br />Happy new year. Get over your cold.EvenSonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02032555334605790413noreply@blogger.com
