And it snowed tonight in San Francisco too, just a light dusting. Haven't seen that for a long long time here.

Weather forecast says the low will be 39 degrees in beautiful Los Angeles this evening with the snow level expected to be at 3500 ft. Plenty of snow for the ski resorts in the San Berdo mountains Saturday morning.

Pack up the X's - time to go to skiing :thumbup: (except for me - stuck at home with severe back spasms :thumbdown ).

It is suppose to snow later tonight until tomorrow AM!! No problemo, driven the X5 through 18 inches fresh snow over 1 year ago in my neighborhood and even went off roading and did snow donuts at my office parking lot! :)

I think Michelle took our SoCal weather and left us with her Baltimore weather! :confused:

Kewl, how are those Pirelli 19s doing in those conditions? Was there ever any situations where you had to use chains/cables with those Pirelli? I still have my summer Bridgestone 19s on and it scared the sh*t out of me on wednesday heading up to Big Bear (hit some black ice)...almost in the same condition as what's in your pictures. Needless to say, I quickly had to turned around and settled on Mountain High for some boarding fun :(

The Pirelli Scorpion Zero Asimmetrico does really well in those conditions. Light snow & ice is no problem. When I used to have the Michelin Diamaris, even a light dusting of snow/ice would make the X5 useless....those types of tires (Bridgestone, Michey Diamaris, or any hi-performance summer tires) will not do well in the winter or cold....the colder temp causes the rubber on those type of tires to harden and lose more traction.

The Pirelli's area hi-perf all-season tires and the rubber on those tires does not harden. Haven't gotten into a situation that required chains/cables.

I am about 4000 feet above sea level.

36 degrees in Hayward California @12:22 am SAT MARCH 11 Snowflakes have been falling but turns to water when it lands. LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW.

I woke up to turn the heat up & got online to see the forecast/temp.
Look at this in the San Francisco & the Bay Area! (I've only seen snow twice in CA outside Lake Tahoe!!)

Stay warm out here, fellow West Coasters. Oh, and Michelle, please send the sun back soon as you're done with it, k? LOL.

Good to know...thanks for the info. Those Pirellis will be on my shopping list after the summer (for next season).
