Let it snow

On Monday, I was in a meeting with my team and our clients at their office buidling on Market Street downtown.

We were about two hours into a four hour meeting when one of my team members stopped mid-sentence and got up out of her chair and walked to the window.

"It's snowing!" she exclaimed.

And it was. Right here in San Francisco. Little white flakes falling from the sky as though that were a completely normal thing in a city where the temperature is, I think it is appropriate to use the word, never below freezing.

As we all stood there in the window looking out we saw that the people in the building opposite us were all doing the same thing - window after window had amazed faces in it. The ones who could open their windows were sticking their heads out of them like dogs in a moving car.

It lasted about 90 seconds, then turned to sleet, and then regular rain.

Later that afternoon, there was some very small hail, too.
