You've probably seen the news that it snowed in San Jose recently. It's
snowed maybe 2-3 times in my lifetime here, maybe a few flakes or dusting
at the most. Last week Mt. Hamilton got several feet of snow and I really
got excited. Despite road closures I took a chance and headed up in the
roadster. The peak is about 25miles from my home.

The road up is 130 heading to Livermore/Patterson and it is super twisty.
Low-speed stuff, but fun.

My heart's racing as I spot little bits of ice/snow roadside. We just don't
get this kind of weather here. It usually requires a 5-15hr drive to Tahoe
to see snow! Sure enough, the snowpack becomes real!

There's the peak (it is also Lick Observatory), covered!

At the summit, it was extremely icy.

I was shocked.

Drove down the mountain thinking I MUST take my family back to play in the
snow, no matter what!

Took the family back just before sunset and it started snowing! Kids loved
it. Mission accomplished. Roadster reconnaissance achieved.
