They were only calling for two to three inches. It started snowing on Saturday afternoon and was coming down hard. Jack had a fun time playing in it as it was coming down. He came in after awhile and by bedtime, his tracks were covered. I measured before bed and found that we had 6 inches. There was a chance for more overnight, but it wasn't snowing when I turned in.
On Sunday morning, my tracks were covered. Jack and I were delighted and amazed when our ruler disappeared when we tried to measure. The official total for Oakland, according to the news, was 18 inches. It was just over twelve in the spot we measured in our front yard.
Everything was covered. It was beautiful! Notice how high the snow comes up on the legs of the chair.
We had to wrap grocery bags around our calves, because the snow was higher than our boots!
The fire hydrant we saw on our walk.
The news said this was the biggest snow in Oakland since the 1960's. Wow!

Read all the snow posts backwards - how silly of me. Can't believe 18 inches. Wow. We didn't get ANY. Weird, eh?
