Snow in San Francisco? Get ready this weekend.

One to two inches of snow fell in San Francisco on February 5, 1976, and dusting the Marin Headlands, just north of the Golden Gate Bridge.

Snow on Mt. Tamalpais!

I woke up this morning and looked out the window...I always want to see the view of Mt. Tam.  I said, "That looks like snow."  Sure enough, a Google search took me to yesterday's report in the Marin Independent Journal. 
Their photos show the snowfall this weekend on our beloved Mt. Tamalpais.  Here is their report:
"The Sleeping Lady wore a coat of white as four to seven inches turned the mountain into a winter playground.  Although the road to the East and West Peaks was closed, snowball fights and other winter games were the order of the day for the hearty souls who abandoned their cars to frolick on the frigid mountain.  At 2,500 feet, Mount Tam was one of the Bay Area peaks that got painted white by a wintry storm that dropped snow as low as 1,700 feet.  And more may be on the way. Snow showers could begin falling again on Thursday and continue into next weekend as one storm passes over the Bay Area and another appears headed this way."
