morning of Wednesday December the 10th but SNOW!!!
Bring on the jokes now. An inch or so of snow and there actually were traffic problems as a result. To be fair, most of it had to do with ice forming on the bridges which are pretty high and pretty steep to accommodate all of the ship traffic. (Crazy little thing called OIL pronounced AWL) a large percentage of which gets refined here.
In any case, there were lots of folks outside taking pictures. Apparently there hasn't been any accumulating
snow here since 1973. I don't know any different of course since this is my first time down here.
At the YMCA where I'm staying a couple of staffers started to build a snowman until they realized how cold it made their hands feel. Certainly a new experience for them and definitely made the place look a bit prettier for me.
